"If they ask why you didn't "just" use this other person's computer to fill out the forms, tell them that you refuse to send DRM-encumbered files out of principle, and secondarily (if this is true) that this would hardly have made the job easier anyway."

I really think the burden should be on the developers, sellers, bundlers, and users of proprietary software, formats, and DRM to justify their imposition of encumbrances on others, NOT on everyone else to justify ourselves. So the proper response to the question above is to immediately ask why the person didn't "just" use free software and/or a non-DRM'd file, instead of imposing unjust restrictions and hassles on other people.
