Email response to submitter for form submission

I am having a hard time finding this since forms and e-mail response questions for forms are usually regarding the results of forms submitted as collection.  I want a standard e-mail to be sent to the person completing the form once it is submitted. Can someone point me the right direction to how to do this? 
Thanks!

If you know how to have an email sent to you as the site owner, then you know how to have another email sent to the submitter, its the same code with some different destinations.  So for example, if you have this for your script (assuming php) to process the information to be sent to you
$fname = ($_POST['fname']);
$lname = ($_POST['lname']);
$email =  ($_POST['email']);
//Sending Email to form owner
$header = "From: $email\n"
. "Reply-To:  $email\n";
$subject = "Submission From My Form";
$email_to =  "[email protected]";
$message = "name: $fname . $lname\n"
. "email:  $email\n";
@mail($email_to, $subject ,$message ,$header ) ;
You could simply change it to this: The email, header subject message have a _sub added to it to differentiate from the origianal script. I have also taken out the variables since they are already on the page.
//Sending Email to submitter
$header_sub = "From: $email\n"
. "Reply-To:  $email\n";
$subject_sub = "Submission From My Form";
$email_to_sub =  "$email";     /*      This has been changed to the email address of submitter*/
$message_sub = 'Put whatever message you want here.';
@mail($email_to_sub, $subject_sub ,$message_sub ,$header_sub ) ;
Now with both scripts, the owner and submitter get an email.

  • Disable the email client selection prompt for forms

    Hello,
    I am wondering if you might help me. When hitting the "email to" button in a pdf form, by default the select email client window pops up.
    I have been searching in vain (sofar) to prevent this window from appearing in the first place (at first launch Adobe).
    I know I can check the "don't show again" checkbox from within the dialog box, but I don't want the dialog box to appear in the first place, because I don't want users to see it at first launch of Reader and don't want to have to manually (let the users) check the "don't show again" checkbox. I need to be able to deploy this settings (the mail client selection window to NOT show up) to over 100 users.
    Here is what I have tried sofar.
    Using free registry snapshot tool Registry Watch, I have identified the keys HKEY_Local_Machine\software\Microsoft\windows\Currentversion\Installer\Userdata\S-1-5-18\ Products\90401210900063d11c8ef10054038389c\usage\OutlookMapi2
    and HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Cryptography\RNG as changing keys whenever I turn on and off the show this dialog box.
    However, both keep changing to completely new values.
    If I manually enter the values of these keys to how they were when the dialog box was not displayed, it still keeps displaying the window. So it is not possible to hardcode these keys with a fixed value.
    When I turn the dialog box back on, the keys HKEY_USERs\"user"\software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AValert , HKEY_USERs\"user"\software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AValert\cCheckbox are deleted, but when I turn the dialog box off again from within Reader
    these keys don't return anymore.....
    So it is difficult to pinpoint a specific (set of) key(s) and particular values.
    Also disabling and enabling send mail api from within Reader, but this didn't help either (needed for email client to work from Reader in the first place).
    Looked for xml's or ini that might change after enabling or disabling the prompt, but none found, neither in my profile, nor all users profile, nor C:\Program Files\Adobe\....
    Any feedback wold be much appreciated.

    Try making sure your default email program is set under Edit > Preferences > Internet category > Internet Settings ...Programs tab in Acrobat.
    You can also try doing a Help > Repair Acrobat installation since you installed Outlook after installing Acrobat.

  • License for form submission

    Hi! I have planned to create a adobe form that enables electronic submission(http or web services). Hence, users can submit the form on their desktops or through their browsers.
    I dont mind the submission format and the users (>500) have installed adobe reader version  only. I want to know whether a livecycle extension is a must. If yes, how much for the license required? how much is license fee for livecycle manager? how much is license fee per forrm?
    Thanks!
    Daphne

    The cost actually depends on your intended usage. It is based on the number of users and/or the number of forms and is something that's determined after you talk with an Adobe salesperson. It's also available through Datalogics: http://www.datalogics.com/products/pdfjt/
    Note that if you set the form up to submit just the form data via HTTP(S), you don't have to Reader-enable the document. If you can convince all of your users to use Reader 11, it is capable of saving and submitting the complete PDF.

  • Generate Turing Number for form submission to prevent automated registraton

    Hi,
    How I want to have a script to generate and check a turing number. A turing number is a number the user has to read and copy in order to be able to validate a form. This avoids automated submissions. Just like when you register for yahoo mail etc it asks for this number to prevent automated registrations. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    Just so happens 3 days ago, I took a few hours to research and write a few methods that generate a "turing" sequence of characters and numbers or custom and write an image, I call them viverification (vivo = life , verify = proof) images. Very simple, I have different methods for different needs in my client application code. Here are the methods:
         * Returns a random character chosen from the input charset. If the charset is an empty string returns a char
         * from the set:
         *"1AaBb2CcDdEe3FfGgHh4IiJjKk5LlMmNn6OoPp7QqRr8SsTt9UuVvWw0XxYyZz"
         * Implicit use of the java.util.Random() provides the pseudo random selection algorithm. Iteration of provided set
         * means that efficiency decreases with char set length, so use of very long charsets will incur a performance penalty.
         * If you desire simply to have a random roman letter provided , the getRandomRomanLetter(boolean)  allows returning upper case
         * or mixed case chars.
         *@param String charset -- The set of characters to use as random selection items. If you provide "eaAVB456" the output will be randomized
         * about those 8 characters returning. "e" or "B" or "4" ...in a random fashion.
         *@returns char -- A randomly selected char from the string provided as charset.
        public static char getRandomCharFromString(String charset) {
            if(charset.trim().equals("")) charset = "1AaBb2CcDdEe3FfGgHh4IiJjKk5LlMmNn6OoPp7QqRr8SsTt9UuVvWw0XxYyZz";
            java.util.Random ur = new java.util.Random();
            java.text.StringCharacterIterator sci = new StringCharacterIterator("");
            sci.setText(charset);
            sci.setIndex(ur.nextInt(charset.length()));
            return sci.current();
         * Returns a random character chosen from a character set as defined by the boolean mixed case.
         * Implicit use of the java.util.Random() provides the pseudorandom selection algorithm. Iteration of provided set
         * means that efficiency decreases with char set length, so use of very long charsets will incur a performance penalty.
         * If you desire simply to have a random letter from an arbitrary string of characters, the getRandomCharFromString(String)
          *a char from a user provided set.
         * @param boolean mixed case -- If false, returns only chars from the set [A...Z] if true returns char from set. [aAbB...zZ]
          *@returns char -- A randomly selected char from the string provided as charset.
        public static char getRandomRomanLetter(boolean mixedcase) {
            String set = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
            if(mixedcase)  set = "AaBbCcDdEeFfGgHhIiJjKkLlMmNnOoPpQqRrSsTtUuVvWwXxYyZz";
            return Utilities.getRandomCharFromString(set);
         * Generates a 7 character Viverification Image used to confirm that only in vivo agents are filling out forms presented with the image.
         * The generated characters have forced capital roman letters at start and ends with 5 numerals in the center like: <p>
         * S35872F or R87356H
         * In conjunction with a confirmation field, the characters generated in the image can be matched against the returned string
         * value of those characters returned by this method to ensure a human agent filled out the form. An obfuscation diagonal line is
         *  drawn across the embedded sequence to obfuscate the image from OCR discovery techniques. This prevents bots from
         * being programmed to fill out forms or create accounts on systems built using the framework.
         * @param String path -- The fully qualified file path on the system to write the generated jpeg image file along with the file name.
         * @param int width -- The width of the generated image.  Must be long enough to accommodate the 7 characters as rendered on the generating platform to avoid truncation.
         * @param int height -- The height of the generated image.
         * @returns String -- If the Image generation succeeded, the string of the randomly generated character embedded in the generated image, empty string otherwise.
        public static String createViverificationImageAtPath(String path,int width, int height) throws IOException {
            String out = "";

            ImageIO.write(bi,"jpeg",new File(path));
            return viver;
        }You'll just need to import the requisite java packages used and you are good to go. If you want to make more complex images you can investigate the image API's further to get a more fancy (though it really is pointless to do so) minimally visually obfuscated images are all you need to thwart even the best subversive OCR (optical character recognition) algorithms that might be used by nefarious agents to spoof viverification.
    Use:
    Ideally you'd call the method as part of generating a page for an authentication or form in a dynamic fashion. (jsp /servlet) The returned string will allow the method to verify the sequence generated against the value returned by the vivo agent viewing the form. As part of validation you would write simple code to check if the string returned during the image generation doesn't match the form field for agent entry. If so you can deny the action, otherwise you can authorize it.
    Enjoy!

  • Form validation for sql submission

    is there a way i can take the fields of my forms and replace any instance of ' with /' so that it can be submitted to my Postgres database successfully? i've come across a basic javascript function that replaced "a" with "z" and i tried modifing that, but it crashes my browser.
    surely being a common requirement for form submission for database entry, there must be a function written somewhere that handles this
    i know its not strickly java, but its something anyone that has developed in JSP, PHP or whatever must have come across

    is this a JavaScript question or a Java queston ?

  • How do you change the default return email when distributing a PDF form

    Hello everyone,
    I am trying to distrube a pdf form as a customer survey to various client/contact emails.  As a test, I chose to distribute the form, filled in the form distribution information and I send the form to myself. However, when I filled it out and chose 'submit form' it prompted me with the return email address that I know is incorrect and want to change.
    As the author of the form, I need to change the default return email address, but there is no option to do so when I choose to distribute the pdf form  or any new form that I create (only prompted me the very first time I chose to distribute a form). 
    Does anyone know how to change the return email address and information for form distribution?  Can someone please help me with this? 
    Thank you very much!
    -Ryan

    The email address that it uses it what is set in the Identity user preference: Edit > Preferences > Identity > Email Address
    so change it there before you distribute.

  • Web Form Email Response Layout

    I have a couple of queries...
    1) How can i remove the submit:Send Message button from the reply.
    2) I would like to add formatting options to the reply so the questions are bold and the answer is in normal text. Also i would like to add a line between each section so that each section is clearer to read and less clustered. I have read about HTML email responses but I am unsure if this is the best option for me to use.
    Any help would be appreciated

  • Adobe id email versus a created email for forms central use

    so I have my main adobe id (email address) and purchased my own forms central subscription using it.  I then had my customer purchase their own forms central account with thier own user id (email address).  THEN I actually created a unique email address on my own computer for my customer so that their form confirmations would go there instead of mixing into my personal email.  HOWEVER -- the forms are not functioning properly when using that created email address as a form creator id.  The forms can be built and saved and all the settings are set correctly.  Responses are functioning and going through to the forms central database, and I GET THE EMAIL CONFIRMATIONS onthe created email, BUT the collaborator is not getting them at her address, despite the settings showing they are showing to be routed there.  What is up?  The ONLY thing that has changed from my first test forms (in which all notifications went properly where they needed to go) to my now malfunctioning notifications is the author email (not my "real" adobe id, but the email address I created for the author purpose).  Can y ou help?

    Can you please share the form with me ([email protected]) so we can investigate the issue.
    Thank you,

  • How Do I Verify a Second Email Address for Form Central

    I set my Adobe Account up with a primary email, but I want my form responses to come to a different email. How can I verify a second email address.
    Here is what Adobe says...I'm not sure I fully understand this process.
    https://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-4371
    Thanks Team!
    Guy

    In order for an email address to receive responses, there must be a FormsCentral account that uses that email address.  An address is verified by logging into the email address in question after configuring the new FormsCentral account.  An email is sent to the account and you verify the account by clicking on a link in the email.  Once this is done the account is verified.  The steps are:
    Create a new FormsCentral account using the second email address (can be a Free account)
    Log into the second email account and click on the link within the email that FormsCentral sends for verifying new accounts
    When creating forms in your primary account, you can now add the second address as a recipient for email notifications.

    "Contact Form" has a new form submission.

    What exactly is not working ? As you have mentioned form submission notification is received in your email account so form process is working I believe but you want the notifications to go to another email account I think.
    Have you added the email address in "Email to" field in form options ? If yes and then also you are not receiving the form , then please provide me the site url and post a screenshot or form with option box open.

    You should be able to log into the online Formscentral Acrobat XI air app and see your doc there. From there you would need to save it out as a PDF without a submit button to have it continue to work past July.

  • Change 'new form submission' text when receiving email from contact form.

    Hi,
    One of our clients has asked us to change the text they receive when they get an email from their contact form.
    It currently says: 'new form submission'
    they want it to say: 'West of the Moon ~ Ayr ~ Website Enquiry'
    We have tried changing the name of the form but this only changes the subject in the email not the wording on the email. Is there any way to do this?

    Hi Richard,
    Please check the php script to which the web form submits to and then open that with a text editor and edit the verbiage that you want to there.
    PS - You will need to make these changes after every export from Muse as Muse will override them on every export/upload.

    If you know how to have an email sent to you as the site owner, then you know how to have another email sent to the submitter, its the same code with some different destinations.  So for example, if you have this for your script (assuming php) to process the information to be sent to you
    $fname = ($_POST['fname']);
    $lname = ($_POST['lname']);
    $email =  ($_POST['email']);
    //Sending Email to form owner
    $header = "From: $email\n"
    . "Reply-To:  $email\n";
    $subject = "Submission From My Form";
    $email_to =  "[email protected]";
    $message = "name: $fname . $lname\n"
    . "email:  $email\n";
    @mail($email_to, $subject ,$message ,$header ) ;
    You could simply change it to this: The email, header subject message have a _sub added to it to differentiate from the origianal script. I have also taken out the variables since they are already on the page.
    //Sending Email to submitter
    $header_sub = "From: $email\n"
    . "Reply-To:  $email\n";
    $subject_sub = "Submission From My Form";
    $email_to_sub =  "$email";     /*      This has been changed to the email address of submitter*/
    $message_sub = 'Put whatever message you want here.';
    @mail($email_to_sub, $subject_sub ,$message_sub ,$header_sub ) ;
    Now with both scripts, the owner and submitter get an email.

  • Cannot Change Identities / Email where Submit button emails responses to

    I have created, entiriely, in LiveCycle a form. When it is distributed it AUTOMATICALLY inserts my own email to where the repsonses go to. Cannot - REPEAT CANNOT- Alter it.
    THIS IS NOT THE SUBMIT BUTTON THAT YOU PUT INTO A FORM.
    This is the "Submit" that is automatically generated and put into the PDF TAB when a form is distributed.
    I've gone into Acrobat / LiveCycle and changed "identies" but the response STILL goes to my Email. It NEVER picks up my changed Identity - and shows my own email and not the one I want responses sent to.
    Rebooted after chainging Identities  - STILL goes to my email.
    Edited in the Acrobat - STILL - goes to my email - SUBMIT button (automatically created when you distribute the form) ALWAYS says to send to my email.
    Edit the options/properties to change - MY EMAIL IS GREYED OUT AND CANNOT ALTER IT IN THE DISTIBUTON panel where you can select options as how the form is distrubited - selecting EMAIL response to form submission.
    It ALWAYS SHOWS my Active Directoy LOGON ID as the form OWNER - CANNOT CHANGE IT.
    We are IN an Active Directory environemnt and my logon account has NO RIGHTS to change MASTER registry Win7 entries at all - only (like normal) my own preferences - BUT LIVE CYCLE / ADOBE DOES NOT CHANGE ANYTHING with email at all concerning the auto email sent to portion. I can change "sent by" but NOT who I want responses sent to.
    Cannot FIND at all any XML preferences file in registry / file system to hack and manually change it.
    You look at the XML data in the form and it shows my email address - AND ALL XML data is BLOCKED from being edit at all in the form - and NO idea where it is pulling this information from.
    Is there ANY WAY at all to change --- WITHOUT WRITING ANY CODE - to alter where a distributed form is to send email repsonses to.
    CANNOT, REPEAT CANNOT - use any cloud, online or any external source at all. Cannot use Acrobat.com.
    Thanks,
    Tom

    The email address is coded into the server script file that processes the form data.

I want to use cfselect so it will be populated with all the states.I have it working fine, my problem is, when the email is sent from the form, it sends the ID of the state, not the actual state name.I am trying to write an if statement to compair the form.state to the record id in the DB and then when it sends the email, it sends the actual state name in the matched db record.
    this is my code, it is pretty simple and strait forward.
    Contact page
    <cfquery name="SESSION.stat" datasource="#APPLICATION.dataSource#" cachedwithin="#CreateTimeSpan(0, 6, 0, 0)#">
    SELECT state, ID
    FROM States
    </cfquery>
    <cfform......>
    <cfselect enabled="No" name="state" size="1" class="selectstyle" required="yes" message="Please enter your state!" multiple="no" queryPosition="below">
             <option value="" selected>--Select a State--</option>
             <CFOUTPUT query= "SESSION.stat">
             <option value="#ID#">#state#</option>
             </CFOUTPUT></cfselect>
    </cfform>
    Response page:
    <cfquery name="SESSION.stat" datasource="#APPLICATION.dataSource#" cachedwithin="#CreateTimeSpan(0, 6, 0, 0)#">
    SELECT state, ID
    FROM States
    </cfquery>
    <cfmail to="[email protected]
            from="#form.email#"
            subject="web siteRequest"
            server="mail.myhost.com"
            port=25
            type="HTML">
    <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="##000000" size="2">
    <b>Status:</b>           <b>Request!!</b><br>
    <!--- this is my error query --->
    <cfoutput query="stat">
      C  <b>Customer State:</b>   #state#<br>
      </cfif>
      </cfoutput>
    </cfmail>
    I think need to fix
      <cfif form.state EQ ('#ID#')>
      <b>Customer State:</b>   #state#<br>
      </cfif>
    this is not working properly, and i forget how to compare the orm submission to the DB record. Can anyone help me out?
    thank you.

    I knew I wasn't thinking right. That did it!
    I have a loaded question for you now....
    how do you make the cfselect a required field like the other fields so it comes up in the cf-generated java validation code? I have been reading you can only do this by overriding it with it's own java script. Is this true?I do have validation working for it on the server sided response page, just not in the field validation required=Yes" messge="You didn't choose fool!" doesn't work.
    Any ideas that do work?
    Thank you.
