i agree pdf files have made it so easy for me , its quick and easy and time saving, what else can a busy professional want

Using the scanner also converting to pdf has made a world of difference in this time consuming world of paperwork.

It is such a huge hlep with relocation clients that are often in the other state when you are dealing with the changes. Nice post, thanks!

Another added bonus in my company is the fax to email feature. Much clearer and I can save them right to the appropriate folder.

I use an online fax so I can read them, and save them.  but if I need to send something back I sign then convert to PDF and send....you're  right a much cleaner copy.

Thanks for the comments. I also use the computer fax and then convert the document to PDF.

You are absolutely correct, being able to send contracts as attachments is a huge professional plus.   The easiest way is to get a great scanner that can handle the entire document, scan it to file and then attach it to an e-mail.  Most of the new upper end multi-function printers can handle this sort of thing.   E-Fax is a must in a modern office.   Jerry

Just be conscience of other email that may not be able to handle large files.

Bonner that is a good point and one I have forgotten about.....the size limits of some email accounts.

I use efax and then email it out, its fast super easy and a no brainer.

I like the fact that I can password protect the PDF document that way one the intended recipient can open the file. 

We just started to save all our brochures and "fax property packets" as PDF's.  You have more people asking these days to email it not fax it.  If you say I'll have t fax it you hear a sigh at the end of the phone.  Looks like fax machines are going to go where the typewriters went.
