These days whenever I'm asked to print, sign, and scan a form I now just use OSX Preview to insert my digital signature, save it, and send it back. (I have no idea if there are legal issues with this but nobody's ever complained to me that this isn't okay.)

I still hate when I'm asked to do this but it's vastly more convenient than actually printing and scanning a form.

I've done this using Inkscape a few times, usually works but I've had one company come back to me saying "uh no, print it out". They were in finance so maybe a regulatory thing or maybe just luck.
This is a legit/acknowledged way to meet the FSF's requirements.
