I got a great tip the other day from a client on how she uses eFax to convert her documents into PDFs. If you have eFax, you can do the same thing.

While I have Adobe Acrobat, it’s a very expensive software for a lot of smaller companies to buy just so they can convert documents into PDFs. If you have eFax, simply use the service to fax any document you want converted into a PDF to yourself. When it comes back to you, eFax automatically converts the document into a PDF.

Just save it to your files. Done.

For those of you who don’t know about eFax, I use it and a lot of freelancers and small businesses I know of use it to. It eliminates the need for a fax machine.

eFax will give you a phone number for you to give as your fax number. If someone faxes a document to you, the document shows up as a PDF. Simply store it or print it or both.

If you want to fax someone a document, you simply pull up the software, attach the document, and send it to the recipient’s fax number. Or if you have a hard copy you need to send to them, simply scan it (you do need a scanner for this but they’re a darn site cheaper than fax machines, don’t require a phone line and come with all three or four-in-one printers), save the scan, and then send it with eFax.
