Here's a sample:

  \documentclass[a4paper]{article}
  \usepackage{array}

  \begin{document}

    \typeout{}
    \typein[\name]{Enter your name}
    \typeout{}
    \typein[\dob]{Enter your date of birth}
    \typeout{}
    \typein[\edu]{Enter your eduactional qualification}


    \begin{center}
      \renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.5}
      \begin{tabular}{r@{.}p{0.4\linewidth}@{\,:\,}p{0.5\textwidth}}
        1 & Name                         & \name\\
        2 & Date of Birth                & \dob\\
        3 & Educational qualifications   & \edu\\
     \end{tabular}
    \end{center}

  \end{document}

When you compile this at a command prompt, you will be given instructions 
llke "Enter your name" . Type in these details and you have your form 
filled in. 

With a simple script you can do the compilation, viewing or printing at 
one go.
