Custom form that needs to be printed and signed.
Is it possible to have people fill in a custom form which can be printed and signed?
So instead of people downloading the form and writing it in, they can just type it in, then print, and sign then fax off.
The form has a logo and watermark on it is why I ask.
If it is possible, how would I do that?
Thanks for any suggestions or ideas.

Sure,
Just use a normal html form with a javascript print page button at the bottom.
You could use a series of text boxes, text area boxes, radio buttons, and drop down select boxes.
Think it as creating an email form but without the submit button.

You could also actually submit it or use javascript to create a more stylized form for print, structured the way you would want it. Either way will produce the result you're looking for.

Ahh, I guess that's the word, stylized form ; ) SO how would I go about getting me one of those setup? And having the input fields customised.?
Im trying to do this.

Just need them to type on the dotted line, and when they print it, I want it to print exactly where they typed it (on the dotted line.) Then they can sign it and fax it off.
I think this is what stylized is correct? How could I make it the form I have as the style?

I would say there are a couple methods you could go about to do this. First of all, starting from scratch and coding it out to resemble this page. Second, you could scan a copy of this page and then code a page using absolute positioning and that kind of CSS deal to place the text over the lines.
Either way, I would say your best method would be to simply have a form that they fill out, and then when they are finished and click "Submit," a form that looks like this (but filled out with their information) is displayed, and they can print this out to do whatever else they need to do.

Yes, that is fine, I dont care if they dont see the form online when filling it out, it can be just fields on a blank page, I just want it to print those fields on the form in correct order on the dotted lines when they click print. Is that what you mean in your "best method"?
How would I go about doing something like that?
I greatly appreciate this effort from you.
Thanks guys.
(at least now I know it's possible to do.)

Ahh, its okay guys, I am just going to get them to download and print it. There is some sensitive information on it that I need to secure, which means more headaches to get it to work properly.
Thanks for your help.
