Re: [hylafax-users] Fax to Email - multiple formats for fax

I'm investigating using HylaFAX to replace the fax setup we presently have, which was hacked together using mgetty and sendfax.

At the moment, it sends each page as an individual gif file, and then the entire fax as a pdf.
We'd like to replicate this setup (the initial image file format isn't overly important - gif, jpg, png..).


I've looked through the documentation, but can't see anything that tells me either way if HylaFAX is capable of this or not.


It's capable, but you'll need to have some customized scripting in faxrcvd.

There have been numerous discussions in this forum in the recent past regarding faxrcvd customization. Nothing that I can remember describes exactly what you're after, but I would suggest you search the archives for starting points on how to get there. This here may serve well:

(That discusses notify, but it may be a good example of how to do image editing, etc.) See also:
