How to Convert a Fax to PDF
Faxes can easily be sent to emails and converted to PDF. Programs like eFax allow the faxes to be sent to the emails and include a software program to convert the fax from an email to a PDF file. The PDF files can then be saved on a computer and accessed as often as necessary.
- Choose an email fax program such as eFax. These types of programs allow users to receive a fax through their email.
- Open the email and click on the fax to launch the eFax application. Click on the "Menu" button in the top menu bar. Click the "Fax Edit Mode" button.
- Click the "Menu" button and click the "Export" button.
- Click on the "Save as Type" button in the export menu. Choose "PDF Files" from the drop down menu.
- Choose a name for the fax file you are saving, and choose the location on the computer where you want to save it. If you will be changing several faxes to PDF documents, you may want to make a separate folder on your computer to save the converted files. This will make the files easier to find and help keep them organized. You can also save them on your desktop to make them easy to access.
- Click on the "OK" button to convert and save the file as the chosen location.
- Click on the folder the files were saved in, and double-click on the name of the PDF file. Open the file and inspect it to make sure it was converted properly. You can then type or change the PDF files as desired.
