The present disclosure provides methods and apparatus for deliveringdocuments. A web based application servertransmits a document to a distribution management system. The distributionmanagement system then translates the document ifnecessary (e.g., from a spreadsheet to a PDF and a fax) and sends thetranslated document to one or more destinations such asemail inboxes, printers, and fax machines. For fax deliveries, thedistribution management system sends the document to a particularclient device that is associated with the fax destination. For example, theclient device that actually transmits the fax may resideat a company, and the fax machine may be at a customer of that company. Inthis manner, fax transmissions appear to come fromthe correct source (not the distribution management system), and transmissioncharges associated with the fax are incurred by theappropriate company (not the company associated with the distributionmanagement system).
