Email address in a form
I have a form where people enter their e-mail address into a
required field. What i am trying to do is when the user clicks
submit and it sends the form to the designated email that the email
address that was entered in the form field is put as the sender. Is
this possible and how do I get it to do that?
What method are you using to process the form's data?

How to i get my one line email address from a form to dissapear from my monitor screen?
Hi,
I have a iMac running OS X Yosemite ver 10.10.1
my iMac is Mid 2011, running 16 BF Ram
I have seen an annoying floating email address from a form showing up on my monitor screen, even though the form was closed.
Even if I move any open windows, the email address is still showing on my screen.
Anyone have any idea on how I may delete this image or whatever it is? Thanks. DonnaTry relaunching the Finder, ➙ Force Quit.
Otherwise reboot. -

How do I embed an email address in a form?
In the Design tab add a formatted text field to your form. In the formatted text field select the text you want to create a link with. Go to menu Insert-> Link... In the Insert Link dialog you will add an email address to the bottom field (URL or Email) and click on the Insert button. The email address should be in the form of [email protected]

How can I copy an email address from the form results while online?
Our form contains a field where the users submitted their email address. But I am not able to mouse over this data in the "View Responses" tab, and copy the email address by selecting the email address and Ctrl C, and neither can I right-click this data field and copy it.
Our organization just switched to Microsoft Office 365, and "mailto" links on web pages can no longer be clicked to launch a native desktop email client program. So the users tasked with responding to forms submitted via Formscentral now have a much harder workflow. They are compelled to download the data as a spreadsheet, just to be able to cut and paste an email address into their reply email.
I suggest and request that the Flash-based "View Responses" tab be modified to allow email addresses to be selectable and able to be copied to the "clip board". This would allow users who can't execute a clickable mailto link to copy and paste the email address from Formscentral into a new email. Many organizations like mine are moving away from native client-based email programs like Outlook to save money, in favor of cloud based SAS web-based email like Office 365.
Is there some other way to enable mailto links where no client email program is installed on the users PC?
Thanks,
-Dave BartholomewWhile I am still looking for a better answer, I've discovered a way to cut and paste email addresses from the FormsCentral "View Responses" dashboard. I wrote up the instructions to help our users and thought I'd share them in this forum as well.
But it would be nice if there was a simpler solution... Can anyone offer a better way?
-Dave B
) Right-click on the email address
) Select “Filter by: …” Doing this will change the view to show only entries that were sent from the selected email address.
) And it will display the Filter in the header of the form.
) Left-click on the email address displayed in the filtered results, in the header of the form.
) A new sub-form will appear, and the email address can be cut and pasted from this new sub-form. Highlight the email address and hit “Ctrl C”, or right-click and select copy.
) Now you can paste the email address into a new email in Office 365. (Ctrl V) or right-click and select “Paste”
) Click the “Clear” button and then “OK” to exit the filtered view of the data. -
Where does Acrobat come up with the default email address for a form?
We're testing a form to be distributed for electronic signatures by a variety of clients. I created the original form from a Word document, then added signature fields. I then submitted the form to others, but when they add their signatures and click "Submit" to have the form resent it comes up with another co-worker's name and email address. There's no way to change those fields, and I can't figure out where it is getting the other name and email address. The original document has my name, as does the copy of Acrobat I'm using and the computer that i use to send it. Does Acrobat go to some default manager name somewhere out their in the cloud? Help!
Have you checked the actions of the Submit button? (I know you were the form's creator, but maybe someone helped or the button was borrowed from another pdf?)
If you haven't checked already:
Right click on the Submit button, and click Properties.
On the Action tab, see if there are actions listed (like in the example jpg below)
Select the action, then click Edit and see if an email address is there for you to edit. -
Email address changes when form is distributed.
I recently helped a friend with a fill form for his clients. I added a "submit by email" button athte bottom and coded it with his email address. I did the ditribution and send them hte form and responce file. Much to out dismay te responces tot he form were going to my email and not his. I went back into the orginalt file and saw it was his email, but when we opened the distribted form it had been changed to mine. I've tried several times to fix it but it keeps changing. What do we do?
TimHello there,
I'm sorry to hear that you've been having trouble; this sounds like an Acrobat issue (not an Acrobat.com issue), so it's not likely to get a satisfactory answer from this forum, which is for questions pertaining to Acrobat.com (www.acrobat.com). I recommend re-posting it to the forums at the Acrobat Users Community:
http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums
You'll have more of a chance of getting a comprehensive answer from the moderators there. Best of luck, and sorry not to be able to offer more specific advice.
Kind regards,

Email address link causing form loss
I am working on a form that has a Text field, that is populated with an email address.
When Reader has the "Create links from URLs" option on (Edit > Preferences > General), then this Text field becomes a mailto link.
It works fine, except when using the form on IE8. My email client opens, but the form itself is lost, I end up with a blank page.
Any help on this matter is much appreciated.
Tests:
Windows XP SP3, IE8 - fail
Windows 7 SP1, IE8 - fail
Windows XP SP3, IE6 - ok
Windows 7 Pro SP1, IE9 - ok
Windows 7 Pro SP1, Firefox - okI would be more then happy to forward the form to anyone who would like to see the way I have put it together and can help me with this.

Two target email addresses for completed form?
I’ve created a fillable PDF form for a client in Acrobat 9 pro, (I also tried it in Livecycle without much success). The original form was produced in ID CS4.
The form is to be completed by customers and emailed to the client, but to get the target email correct I had to edit MY identity in Acrobat to embed the clients email for auto return. This seemed to work OK.
But what I’ve been unable to solve is how to get the completed response to automatically go to 2 different email addresses - i.e. the remote sales rep and head office.
Is this possible and if so, how?
TIA AlastairYes - that's the one I'm using. I created the form in Indy, exported to PDF, added the fields and submit and print buttons in acro and haven't yet distributed it, so the purple submit button isn't visible yet. No response right clicking the submit button, left click produces the choice of desktop or internet mail. I can find no relevant tool under the forms tab (or any other) in Acro. It might be I'm getting short sighted and/or stupid in my old age, but if you could point me in the right direction I'll be eternally grateful . . .
Thanks for your patience (with someone who learned how to set metal type on a stick in 1970)

Email Address Validation in Forms
Hi everyone,
I volunteer as a web designer for a local nonprofit newspaper
here in Cleveland, and am having a heck of a time with spambots and
our email form. Bots send all kinds of garbage on casinos, viagra,
porn, etc. several times throughout the day to the point that we're
overwhelmed!
My question is, how do I validate email addresses so that
fake addresses cannot submit the form? Is there a line of code I
can include?
The form is located
here.
Thank you!Joe:

Can you assign multiple email addresses to Adobe Forms?
Or does each form creator have to have Adobe Acrobat Pro XI license?
If you're asking about submitting forms via email, you (the licensee) can set up a form to submit to anyone you want, even multiple recipients. Submitting by email is not very reliable and relies on the user to have a functioning email client.
If you want to email the complete PDF (as opposed to just the form data) and you need it to work with Reader versions prior to 11, the document has to be Reader-enabled with Acrobat, but this has certain licensing restrictions. In short, if you distribute an enabled form so that more than 500 users have access to it, then you are allowed to use data from no more than 500 instances of the form (including hard copies) that have been returned to you. -
Send PDF form to email address user enters in textfield on form.
I would like to be able to allow the person using the form to choose what email address the PDF form is emailed to. I read this post which sounds like what I want but I keep getting a Submit Cancelled error. The email does get generated and the form is attached as a PDF so that part works okay.

There is an example here: http://assure.ly/eUR4wJ.

Email Notifactions not going to email address
*** Can I please have an answer to this if possible*****
I have setup a user to recieve email notifactions and they are not getting them. I have set them up as a reader and also a co-author and have gotten the message about sharing the form. The user then clicks on the form name and goes to the site. When a form is entered the email address is not getting the email.

==== Response ======
Hi,
Please make sure the users you shared the form with have verified their email address with their FormsCentral account. Here is an aritcile on how to set up email notificaitons with others: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1424. Please make sure you have everything set up properly.
One other thing you want to check is to check the spam folder of the emails to receive notifications and make sure FormsCentral emails are not blocked.
Thanks,
Wenlan
==== Response ======
Hi Wenlan,
I used that article to make sure the steps where followed. When the email comes in the user is clicking on the link and going to the web site. Is there something else that should be done?
Thanks,
CarleenSorry, I must have missed your last response, but can you calrify what feature do you want to use in FormsCentral? There are email receipts and email notifications. If you want the user to receive a copy of the date he entered in the form, then the user needs to enter an email address in the form and submit the form, but if you want the user to receive all responses he and others submit to a form, then it's email notification. It sounds like email receipts in your case. For email receipts to work, you need to have an email field in your form and set up Email Receipts in the options tab, by selecting the email field in the "To:" field.
