Subject: Fax cover sheet?
No previous message | Next message →
I've been asked to make a recommendation for a fax cover sheet that is downloadable from a site where customers apply for a product. This is an alternative to being able to upload required documentation electronically.
The cover sheet would have fillable form fields.
My gut is to recommend a well formatted Word document (RTF?), but I wasn't sure if there would be version compatibility issues. Is a correctly tagged PDF just as useful, or even more reliable?

IMO -- If the form is fillable PDF or HTML with a print CSS media type would be much more accessible than Word fillable forms.

Hi Judith,
A neat solution might be to allow users to fill in an HTML form online
and to download the filled form as a Word or PDF document. IMHO it can
be more difficult to make a Word or PDF form accessible, and some
users may not know how to fill it in.
Hope this helps.
Best, Lynn

Thanks, Lynn,
This seems like the right direction. I hope to influence a decision toward an HTML version.
Best,
