Is your friend named Brigitte? This problem sounds familiar:
She could also try screen-capturing the forms, and inserting them as
graphics. But if you're not careful the text can get mangled.
Has she considered inserting the forms as another SECTION of the document?
Might run into a couple of header/footer challenges, but you'd have far
more control of the appearance and clarity of the forms...
