pdf attachment to fax
Hi All,
My setup: win server 2003 sr2 with xp pro clients all fully patched and up to date. Clients are faxing useing outlook through the server using windows fax serivce. Pdf attachments were faxing fine so long as I set the printto verb to "....AcroRd32.exe" /t "%1" "%2" "%3" "%4" " The problem is that I just updated adobe acrobat reader to version 8 (from version 7) and now when I try attaching a pdf acrobat opens up but I get an error message saying "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found." any help is greatly appreciated.

Good to know. You're doing better than some of the fax developers who can't
get it to work. I have noticed that some of the Internet Fax providers such as Venali are able to render PDF to TIF on the local machine, but I don't know if they've been successful with 8.0 -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "gehct" wrote in message ups.com...

The biggest limitation I found so far, is that the users must be power
users, otherwise they get the generic "failed to print" error.... My problem with internet fax services is the cost per page, we are a small company, with relativly high faxing needs.....

I know. I wasn't suggesting you use Internet Fax, just that Venali's
developers have apparently figured out how to render PDF files to TIF programmatically, so there may be other ways to do it. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "gehct" wrote in message ps.com...

I better go speak to my programmer friends... will post if there's any news down the line. BTW any ideas about getting faxing to work for a standard user? The problem is not related to pdf, I'm getting an error when faxing any attachment as a standard user. If you need the exact error let me know and I'll post it. thanks again

To specify security settings
1.. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Printers and Other Hardware, and then click Printers and Faxes. 2.. Hold down the CTRL key, right-click the required fax printer, and then click Properties. 3.. To set general printer permissions, click the Security tab. 4.. To set specific fax printer permissions, click the Fax Security tab. 5.. To set advanced fax printer permissions, click the Fax Security tab, and then click Advanced. 6.. From Group or user names, click a user or group you want to set permissions for.
