Cannot Fax PDF files (Fax looks &@$##$%)

We are working with a medical group which uses a fax server to distribute about 200 pages a day to various other doctors.
The documents are stored in an electronic medical record as pdf files (made using acrobat). they are then sent to a fax server, and Microsoft fax is then used to send them to the receiving fax machine, via a main pine fax card. It seems when letters are saved as TIFF documents are faxed in that fashion, the fax quality is good. however, when the PDF documents are faxed, the quality is very poor (much worse than standard fax quality, much worse than faxed TIFF)
My client has called the maker of the Electronic medical Record, Microsoft, main pine, and adobe. they all say the same thing. If you use PDF's as your document form, you cannot fax without significant lose of quality.
Why would that be? Does anyone have a solution?
(any help or guidance would be appreciated)

Are your Word 2007 documents being saved as .doc or .docx or .pdf (using the Save as PDF add-in)?
I would suggest sending out the final PDF documents as email attachments rather than converting to TIFF for fax.
At least consider a more advance fax system such as Avaya/Nortel CallPilot Fax Messaging.

Convert SAPSCRIPT to PDF and send to FAX

Hi All,
Currently i am having customized sapscript.
1.) I have to convert it to PDF. How to convert to PDF.
2.) Then i need to send PDF to FAX. How.
What are the code required to change and add.

How to fax several files (jpg, pdf) as a single fax?

Hi I want to fax a few files together as one fax (2 x jpg, 1 x pdf). In Windows it used to be a fax with attachments but what is the way in Leopard?
Many thanks

You can combine them into a single PDF and fax that. Open each of the JPGs and print them to a PDF file so you have three PDFs. Then open one of the PDFs, turn on the sidebar and drag and drop the other PDFs into the side bar in the order you want the pages to be. Then Fax it from the Print menu.

How to set up new fax alert?

Is there any way to get an alert when a fax is received? I have set up an Apple script, specifically, a faxes folder alert using the "new items alert script" from the sample scripts, but it doesn't seem to do anything when a fax arrives and the pdf file ends up in the faxes folder.
So, for now, I have to manually check the Faxes folder periodically to see if one has come in. Also, when I send a fax using the print pdf as fax method, it works, but there is no saved record of the fax.
Do I have to buy a third party fax program to accomplish these things? If so, can anyone recommend something basic and cheap?
Thanks.

"You can have it email you. What kind of alert were you looking for?"
Well, I got the Fax Alert, really a folder change alert, to work--a popup window that says I have a new file in the faxes folder--but apparently the "folder change alert" only works if you set it up for the folder in question each time you start or reboot the computer. There's no permanent or automatic folder alert, apparently.
As for the email notification, yes, I have it set up that way, but it doesn't work because my SMTP server, whether Comcast or Earthlink or any other dynamic IP provider, rejects emails sent from an unrecognized IP (from my computer). The ISP /can/ set things up so that it will permit these to go through, but not on a residential account with a dynamic IP address. I would have to get a business, fixed IP at significantly more cost.
I do wonder whether the Apple server would somehow allow this, but haven't been able to get it to work.

FAX crashes after 10.4.6 update

I am no longer able to FAX from Microsoft Excel. This seems
to have coincided with the last Mac OSX update to 10.4.6. I
have repaired permissions and done disk verification. All is
well other than when I try to FAX something. Anyone else
see this problem? I was not having this problem under 10.4.5.
Other relevant info: Microsoft Office v.X up to current patch revs.
Mac OS X 10.4.6 up to current patch revs.

i have had exactly the same problem after the update --- so far the only solution is to save document as a pdf and fax it from apple's preview --- i found that all other applications [including layout apps, and acrobat] crash when sending to fax [excluding apple apps --- strange, huh --- funny too that now my colored pdfs print awful in acrobat so i am forced to use 'preview'!]
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6) adobe apps, quarkX all crash when sending to fax

Printing faxes come out black

I began using the Fax utility in 10.4.3 last week. The faxes are received without problem and stored as pdf files in a folder. When I open to read they open in adobe and look fine. When I print they come out with white text on a black background. Other pdfs not created by the fax print normally. Have tried various printers with same results. Any thoughts?

I am in the same boat - using a brand new Konica Minolta C450 Biz-Hub Expensive as can be printer with built-in Fiery. Same output, a black page from PDF'ed faxes. They even look good from the print dialog box in "Preview" mode. Then it prints black, with what appears to be a row of black thumbnails of the same page across the bottom.
The same fax PDF will print on my old HP 4050N, however, without any problems. I suspect that there is an issue between the creation specs used by Apple and the requirements on the Fiery. Maybe a similar issue for you as well.
Just throwing in my two cents to see if anyone may reply to this problem.

Print Agent - "Invalid" pdf

Hi,
I'm trying to use the print agent.
I use the following:
c:\Programas\Adobe\Central\Bin\jfmerge MODEL1 C:\DOCUME~1\D002404\ASPNET\DEFINI~1\Temp\200902021549206095_xml.tmp -axmlstrict -l -allc:\Programas\Adobe\Central\Server\Logs\TRNQ20090202.log -amq0 -m -zC:\DOCUME~1\D002404\ASPNET\DEFINI~1\Temp\200902021549206095_pdf.tmp -advTransCount=0 -aprC:\DOCUME~1\D002404\ASPNET\DEFINI~1\Temp\200902021549206095_pag.tmp -afpc:\Programas\Adobe\Central\Server\Forms\ -aiic:\Programas\Adobe\Central\Server\jfmerge.ini
The PDF is generated but the result is no good, i.e., I can open the pdf and see it normally, but if I try to print it using PDF Creator it gives an error. The final objective is to convert this pdf to FAX, with RightFax Conversor, which also gives an error.
I have also noticed that in the file properties (using ALt+Enter in the pdf selected file), in the PDF tab it doesn´t show the info - no Created date, no PDF Producer and the PDF version is 0.0.
This is very strange because if I do manually place the xml in data folder the pdf is generated correctly by Adobe Central. I have copied all the parameters from Central. It seems that I cannot create a good pdf calling directly the print agent :(
Does anyone have an ideia what I'm doing wrong?
Regards, Ariel.

I don't know what you may be doing "wrong" but we also experienced problems printing PDFs created by version 5.6 of the software. Our solution was to copy the version 5.5 of the print agent to the server and use it for creating PDF files.

Fax modem broken in Tiger

Occasionally (once every couple of months) I use the internal modem to send a PDF by fax. This was working OK the last time I tried it on Panther. I have since put Tiger on the machine and this is broken. I can hear the dialtone on the powerbook speaker when the modem goes offhook, but as soon as it starts dialing, it changes to a busy signal. Dialing with a regular phone on the same line works fine. Any suggestions?
Powerbook G4 12 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I have this exact same problem since upgrading to Tiger. However, I'm not sure its really a Tiger issue, per se. I'm not making a long distance call, so there is no issue about prepending a "1" to my calls.
In the Fax PDF dialogue box the following format does not work:
Recipient Name <333-1234>
This format is O.K.:
333-1234
This is confusing because the first format is how the name and number will appear if the contact is in Address Book and the dialogue box is allowed to auto complete the entry. An autocompleted entry from the Address Book will be highlighted blue (as in the Mail program) and the number is dialed correctly.
I think this is just an issue about the quirkiness of the acceptable phone number format for the Fax Dialogue. If one tries to manually enter a number the autocomplete feature often adds strange letters to the number, e.g.
333-D23C.
What is that all about? If you see the "D" and try to delete it, the autocomplete feature fights with you and it just gets added right back again. One needs to type out the whole number before you can go back and fix the wierd characters.

OS print dialog, media sizes not applying, and Illustrator CC (18.1.1)

We run a computer lab and are experiencing the same problem on all of our machines. In the past, in Illustrator, when the OS print dialog was accessed using the setup menu within the Illustrator print dialog, we could choose a media size and when we returned to the Illustrator print dialog, the document preview area would update the media size, and preview appropriately. Now, on Illustrator CC, when entering the OS print dialog, and setting up the media as normal, the preview area does not update. If you enter the OS print dialog again, but without even making changes, and come right back to the Illustrator dialog, the media size beneath the preview window updates, and so does the preview window.
I've tried this on every one of our network printers, but also on the local PDF and FAX virtual printers with the same result.
Printing to any printer without entering the OS print dialog twice in order to update the preview does not result in the correct size document being printed.
This problem appears to affect only Illustrator CC. We also do quite a bit of printing from Photoshop CC, and it is not affected. We also have Acrobat XI on the same machines and it works properly as well.

It's been six weeks, could someone from Adobe respond?

Anything I print causes my apps to unexpectedly quit

I have an HP 1012 laser printer. Its plugged via USB to my iMac G4 and I have the printer shared out via the 802.11b airport card installed in the imac. The imac has a static IP and Printing from the iMac is fine.
Printing from my MacBook running 10.4.10 via wireless has always worked for me in the past. Recently I decided to rebuild the iMac with a clean configuration of 10.4.10.
Since the rebuild I can not print anything from any of my machines via the wireless. Anything I select to print will result in the application just quitting. I don't even get a choice to select PDF or Fax. I have check the drivers and cables and even upgraded to 10.4.11 and still everything quits. I have also tried printing from my MBP running Leopard and still my apps all quit
My entire network is connected via an airport snow base station - 802.11b.
Has anyone had this type of issue and have you found a fix for it?

OK I figured it out. The imac which I had the printer connected to was using a factory shipped driver that came preloaded on the Tiger CD. Its version number was 1.4.1. I then saw that my two Macbooks were using version 2.0. I tried to download a updated version from HPs website. HP lists the driver as being installed with the OS so there is no option to download it.
So I guess some how my PPC install of Tiger has a older version of the driver than my two Intel Macbooks. I googled around for the drivers and came across this handy set of drivers which seem to work for many printers and Mac OS X.
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3
I updated the drivers on the iMac Deleted the old printers on my Macbooks. reinstalled the Printers on my Macbooks and BOOM!!!!! -- all my machines can now print wirelessly. My apps also no longer unexpectedly quit. Also wanted to mention its works flawlessly with Leopard.
Hope this helps anyone in need of the fix.
