I designed and redesigned a fair number of forms during my career. We had a Forms Management Branch in ASCS when I started. The program specialist would take his problem to them and together they'd work together to get a master for the printer.
Overtime I started to design forms in Wordperfect tables. Got quite good at it, if I do say so. I think Forms eventually got most forms converted to Wordperfect. I haven't checked the online forms in years so I don't know whether they've now converted to PDF fill-ins or to HTML.
Anyway, the UK also has forms. This post says they're doing 6 percent a year (I hope that's not true, though if they have the sort of expansion of programs we've had in agriculture in recent years they might be expanding the number that fast). They would like to have all HTML forms. It's interesting to see how differently their government works than ours, as I believe I've noted before.
