Generating PDFs
Best for sending
PDF (Portable Document Format) files are the best format for sending faxes using our service. The purpose behind a PDF is to generate a file from any application that will look and print the same on any computer, or operating system, even if that application is not installed. It basically makes things easier and more reliable.
