Interfax has introduced a new feature, whereby inbound faxes may be received as PDF files, alongside the option of receiving them as TIFF files.

This feature was added in response to problems encountered by clients who had installed image editors on their computers, which had 'hijacked' the TIF file association, thereby opening inbound faxes in a wrong application. Apple's QuickTime is just one example of an application with this behavior, which then does not properly display multiple-page faxes.

PDF is a very portable and well known format, whose reader is freely available for download.

To receive inbound faxes as PDF files, subscribers need to log into their account and select Preferences -> Incoming, and change the inbound file type.
