Hi all,

My organization is a 'Google' organization, and I am trying to find a
solution for having 'fillable' forms. Google Forms is not accessible, and
most of the legacy documents that we have use underlining and underscores
to create a writing space.

I am trying to navigate this in the a way that is the least painful for
everyone to use, and currently I am remediating the document into a
fillable PDF but that gets clunky. The particular project that I am working
is intended to be a printed form that is handed to institutions that host
our interns.

Has anyone tried to write a script for Google Docs that will allow for
fillable forms, something that would essentially save as a new version of
the document? That's what I am currently playing around with.

Please do not try to sell me my own job. We are a small college and we
cannot afford external software or services.
