Overview

GFI FaxMaker enables users to send faxes by attaching content to an email. GFI FaxMaker automatically converts the attachment to fax. For this purpose, a built-in conversion engine is included for PDF, HTML, PNG, GIF, JPG, RTF and TXT files.

Microsoft® Office® 97 or higher is required on the GFI FaxMaker server to convert:

• Microsoft® Office® file formats
• Microsoft® Office® Open XML files, such as DOCX and XLSX files

This article provides the steps on how to set up document conversion.
