Prerequisites For Faxing from Adobe

There are a few things you’ll need before you can send a fax. Make sure your system is using the latest version of Adobe. Then, you’ll need to gather the documents that you want to fax and ensure they’re in the right Adobe PDF format you intend to send through as a fax. You may also need to combine multiple PDFs into one document.

Adobe doesn’t have built-in faxing, so you will need an online fax service like eFax, and you’ll need to install the eFax app on your machine. This will allow you to print directly to eFax from inside Adobe when you’re viewing your PDF. Just click File and Print, then select your digital fax service as the printer.
