Rumors of the fax machine's impending demise have been greatly exaggerated. Despite numerous predictions of the paperless office in the 1990s and the idea that e-mail and Adobe Acrobat render faxing obsolete, many people still rely on paper transmissions. Fortunately, most of these users can gain numerous benefits by going with an Internet fax service. You can send and receive faxes via e-mail, which means you can do it from work, home, or on the go, as well as view them online from your e-mail account whenever you wish. Received faxes come in as PDFs, so you can store them on your hard drive or resend them to another party. You can also send Microsoft Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and other files directly from within those applications without having to print or convert them first.
