Document Format Requirements for Faxing

When sending a fax via the webApp, or via API you must ensure that the document meets the following requirements...

 

  • It must be in PDF format (you can send word documents via Communicator, but not via the webApp)
  • It must be A4 or Letter pages
  • There must be no more than 8 pages per document

 

The PDF version must be at least 1.5 - you can check the version using the File- > Properties window in Adobe Reader:

Most modern software will output versions 1.5 and above - however old versions of software and some old office equipment (such as scanners and multi-function centres) can output old formats.  In these cases we recommend updating the software, or applying a firmware update to the device.

 


This does not apply to Control Networks Communicator.  Communicator will automatically convert the document into the correct format before submitting it to the service.
