Hello Paul,

it's not clear to me where you expect to find PDF files.

Do you get mail with the fax document as attachment?
Is this in TIFF format?

Maybe a mail is sent to faxmaster which probably is an alias for root.  
You can set SENDTO=e-mail-address in FaxDispatch to specify where you  
want to send the fax documents. There is a variable NOTIFY_FAXMASTER  
which controls when the faxmaster will get a notification.

In the spool directory all fax documents are stored as TIFF files. The  
conversion is temporary to create the mail attachment.
