One of the nicest ways I have found of doing these, for all concerned parties, is to create an HTML form (without a submit button) Although it may require a signature, which can only be added by hand (so far as I can figure out) all the other information can be entered in a form on-screen, which allows the use of assistive technology such as screen readers, as well as enabling the writing on the form to be computer generated and legible (assuming people use a legible font on their printer). Trying to organise conferences where people handwrite important information in an incomprehensible scrawl made me realise the value of this technique. Having to produce a form which was print-and-post because a cheque or money order had to be mailed made me realise the benefits that it could provide to the people filling in the form.
