You forced me to use this fancypants app and now you're asking for a printout?

Some years ago my beloved employers decided to change job applications from paper to online. Here's how it worked ...

Anybody interested filled in an online form. At HQ this was used to produce a simulacrum of the paper form, which was printed out. The printout was then scanned and emailed to every office (of thirteen) in which the applicant had expressed interested in working. In each of those places a clerk then typed information from the scan of the printout of the formatted data entry into a spreadsheet, which was emailed to the people making the appointments.
