No easy answer. If you have Acrobat Exchange ($59 with academic discounts) you
 can take the form, add your own fields and text, and print the result.
 Otherwise it's the scanner.

For next year ask the MLA people to use Acrobat Exchange before posting the
 form. With Exchange they can insert form fields so their customers can fill out
 the form on-line and print the result. The webmaster can even set up a database
 to capture the form data and users can simply submit the form on line.

Since the form is due today, this will have to go on someone's list for next
 year. Oh well.
