You can use Microsoft Word with considering Content Controls. The information you enter in the Content Controls will be stored in a separate XML file within the .dox file which is a .zip file, as you can call it.

You can also use Adobe reader for this purpose. Users will fill the forms and submit them in PDF format. They can also submit it in XML format.

Another way is to providing a WPF UI which helps in data binding to XML. It will be the most easiest to serve your purpose.
