To fill out forms, handwriting or typewriting?

I’m applying for a graduate program in Japan. There are some forms (such as 申請用履歴書 or longer ones like 研究計画書) required by the university that needed to be filled out. I’ve heard many years ago that Japanese prefer handwriting in many situations, but I’m not sure if that was true.

Should I go handwriting or is it acceptable to just type words into a pdf file? I also have a pen tablet as a third option if typing is generally being frowned upon.
