FAX to PDF converter

.fax

At the inception of fax technology, the facsimile of documents was sent across analog telephone lines as an audio frequency signal. However, at the advent of digital wireless technology and the internet, sending and receiving faxes can be achieved without telephone technology. The point highlighting the essence of Group 3 FAX format here comes into play. Group 3 FAX consists of compressing the TIFF images generated from making copies of a document. The file compression has the benefit of significantly reducing file transmission time. Though file compression beyond the standard 10:1 ratio reduces image quality, users can always adjust the balance to a preference that works best for them while preserving the image's integrity intended for transmission.

Adobe Viewer

PDF – is a cross-platform extension necessary for the visualization of printed materials in electronic form. It is developed by Adobe Systems using separate PostScript resources. PDF documents can exist separately from the OS or hardware tools with which they were developed. Files of this format do not have restrictions on the length, several types, and image options, as they allow you to embed various multimedia tools, scan-line, and vector images. They are supported by Adobe Reader and many browsers, providing the plugin is installed.

PDF supports color models CMYK, RGB, shades of gray, and also it has its technical formats for performing the exchange of finished documents. Any file contains a description of a 2D or 3D document with all the necessary components (scan-line, vector graphics, text, and more). The extension does not encode data associated with the software or OS used to develop and view it.
