PDF playbook
Send a PDF via Fax Without Leaving Your Browser
NeedToFax was built for “I have this PDF, can someone fax it for me?” moments. Here’s how to do it in one tab.
PDF-friendly infrastructure
We keep PDFs intact—fonts, signatures, and bookmarks stay in place. If your document is already optimized, we send it as-is; otherwise, we run a light compression step to ensure the carrier can process it quickly.
No printers, no rescan quality loss, just your original PDF traveling over a secure connection.
Follow these steps
- Head to needtofax.com, enter the recipient fax number, and type any quick cover note.
- Drag your PDF into the upload window. NeedToFax will show you how many fax pages it becomes.
- Approve the flat $1 payment and wait for the confirmation card to display the job ID.
PDF sending tips
- Flatten layers from design tools; complex transparencies can confuse older fax hardware.
- Keep PDFs black-and-white when possible to reduce file size.
- Use the tag fields to note what the PDF contains—handy when submitting expenses.

NeedToFax will have it delivered (and confirmed) before a traditional fax machine even warms up.
