Send Fax via Modem (issue)
Fax issue
Objective: using OS9, fax a word doc (custom cover page) & a pdf (or multiple individual pdfs)
Status: lots of hours with no success --trying to locate fax programs, trying to use FAXstf 6 (frustration, seems that it should be easy to fax)
System/Hardware/Software etc.: Running OS9.2 (as boot) on a MDD, MS Word 2001, Acrobat 5.0 Apple Internal Modem (HCF USB V.90 Data/Fax)
======
FAXstf 6.0.8 actions
1. drag pdf & word doc to drop icon
pdf shows up, I click preview, word doc shows up, I click preview, it previews,
I click cancel, pdf previews but it is blank, I click cancel, window closes,
error message: Acrobat suddenly quite, type 3 error, suggest restart (or system error)
--note disc is in good repair
2. drag pdf to drop icon
pdf shows up, I click preview, it previews.. but skewd, text is horizontal and made stretched and shrunk to fit (i.e. text skewd to fit landscape page setup, then placed at 90 degrees)
3. drag word doc to drop icon
word doc shows up, I click preview, it previews, I cancel since it won’t let me send from here
4. drag word doc to drop icon & send
word doc shows up, I type in # for quick send, click send, fax status box.. dials & sends (looks as though it went through) --have not verified if is was received (to do Monday)
Main issue
1. I need to fax word docs with correctly sized pdfs
Thanks
