Please have a look at the gnu.hylafax java client, which you can find  
at:

    http://www.hylafax.org/content/HylaFAX_APIs

If the API approach is not ideal for you, then just execute HylaFAX's  
own 'sendfax' client at the commandline via a hook from your  
application.

HylaFAX will handle the PDFs natively, there's no need to convert them  
yourself client-side.
