  Use Adobe Acrobat Professional to create a form PDF ... that's a
pretty familiar 'paper-like' interface, after all.

  If you want to do this as a Cocoa application and want specific
guidance, you'll have to be a *lot* more specific about your
requirements than that. If you just want a white, paper-like view that
has only a bunch of text fields in it, you just need:

A - A custom NSView subclass that overrides -drawRect: and draws your
paper-like decorations.
B - A bunch of text fields thrown into the custom view in Interface Builder.

  More detailed direction requires more detailed description of your goals.
