The company I work for is currently doing a series of free training
events for local community and charity groups. In order to apply, you
have to fill in an application form and send it in to book a place. The form is
an editable PDF so that people just input their info, save it, and email it
back.
Half of the forms I’ve received were
printed, filled out in pen, photographed and attached as JPGs.
This is a little unfair… Not everyone has access to a computer. Maybe the people only had access to download and print the form at the library or at a friend’s place. Or they can’t really use their work time/computer to do personal stuff and were only able to print something. Don’t just assume everyone has a fancy macbook in their house and can fill out a pdf and email it back in.
