PDF Converter Professional and Enterprise 8.0 Eval Guide - Nuance

FAX VIA EMAIL
Deliver PDF files directly to a fax machine by sending an email that uses predefined fax settings.
A user can now deliver the file currently opened in PDF Converter Enterprise to a specified fax
number via e- mail. The default format can be configured in PDF Converter Enterprise Preferences
window, and the user can select different recipients to send the fax to each time they initiate the
Fax via e-mail tool.
Notes:
A fax client and/or email client is required to use this feature. PDF Converter Enterprise simply
passes the email message with PDF attachment to the fax or email client for delivery.
Some fax machines may not accept emails containing file attachments. To confirm whether the
fax machine supports this workflow, check with the fax machine’s manufacturer.
To configure the Fax via e-mail settings:
1. Click “Edit > Preferences”.
2. Open the “Fax via e-mail” tab under the “General” category.
3. Specify one of the following file formats under the “Attachment Format” drop-down box:
PDF
TIFF B&W (G4)
TIFF B&W (G3)
4. Click the “Format” button to define the default fax format in the Format Address dialog.
5. Now you can specify the default fax format to be used when a user initiates the Fax via e-mail
function. The options on the right side of the dialog will be used during the fax process; the options
on the left side of the dialog are not used. Note: These options are dependent on the environment
that the fax is being sent to.
6. Move the necessary fields to the right-side of the Format Address dialog by selecting them and
clicking the “Add” button. Once the values are displayed on the right-side, select the desired option
and click the “Modify” button to edit the option’s value.
7. Optionally, enable to disable the “Remember Recipients” option. When this option is enabled,
previous recipient’s information will be saved and can be used again by selecting that name from
the drop-down list when sending a fax.
8. Click “OK” to apply the changes and close the Preferences dialog.
