Sending a Fax

Open the document and choose File, Print.

Choose PDF, Fax PDF.

Type the name and fax number of the person you want to fax. If the fax recipient's name is in the Address Book, the fax number is filled in automatically.

Type a dialing prefix (such as 1 for long distance or a long distance access code).

INTRODUCTION If you have a fax modem, you've probably spent some time wrestling with third-party fax software, which never seems to work right with either the system software or all the programs from which you want to fax. Those days are over; fax sending capability is built in to Mac OS X, and it's as close as the Print command.

TIP Choosing Fax Recipients To select fax recipients from your Address Book, click the Address Book button to the right of the To field. A small dialog box appears in which you can click to select a single person or -click to select multiple people.
