We assume that of course you would like this task fully unattended and automatic. If you would like to receive all your normal print outs in your Mailbox or mail enabled Public Folder you should read also <a href="monitorall.html" target="_blank">http://www.aloaha.com/article/monitorall.html</a>.</p> <p align="justify">One requirement to receive FAXES as PDF is Microsoft FAX. You can install Microsoft FAX from your control panel / add or remove Programs / Windows Components. </p> <p align="center"><img src="../images/components.jpg" width="503" height="385"></p> <p align="justify">Once you installed the Windows Fax Services you need to configure them to print every FAX automatic to an Aloaha PDF Suite monitored Printer. That printer is by default the <a href="http://www.wrocklage.de/software" target="_blank">Wrocklage</a> PDF Printer. To configure the Windows FAX Services you need to open your Start Menu and browse to Accessories / Communications /Fax. There you start the Fax Console. In the Fax Console you go the Menubar and call Configure Fax from the Tools Submenu. The Fax Configuration Wizard will pop up. You click through untill you reach the Routing Option Dialog. There you need to choose your Aloaha PDF Suite monitored Printer. Usually that is the Wrocklage PDF Printer.</p> <p align="center"><img src="../images/faxwizard.jpg" width="503" height="394"></p> <p align="justify">You are nearly done now. Assuming that on a server you dont like the interactive PDF Suite Dialog popping up I suggest to disable it. To disable the interactive dialog just call creator.exe from the Aloaha PDF Suite installation directory. On the right bottom you will find the Service interactive option which you should disable. Furthermore you need to configure your SMTP Settings here.</p> <p align="center"><img src="../images/creator_service.jpg" width="600" height="464"></p> <p align="justify">Thats all. Now every FAX will be printed, converted to PDF and send by email to your Mailbox or Public folder. As a short site note it should be mentioned again that the Aloaha PDF Suite can be installed in two different modes. It can be installed as service or as invisible application which runs in the background only when you are logged on. If you plan to to use the FAX 2 PDF feature it is suggested to install the Aloaha PDF Suite as an service.</p> <p>This article is online available at <a href="http://www.aloaha.com/article/fax2pdf.html">http://www.aloaha.com/article/fax2pdf.html</a><br> A PDF Version is available for download at <a href="http://www.aloaha.com/article/fax2pdf.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.aloaha.com/article/fax2pdf.pdf</a></p> <p> </p> </body>
