I would personally use an accessible form on a website if you can. If this
is printed, it is fine. However, if people will use it in Word or PDF, then
I agree with the others about a PDF-but make sure the form has all the
accessibility features in Acrobat (and have another method in case it is
not usable).

Cheers
