How to Convert eFax to PDFs
You can send faxes using your computer, an Internet connection and the eFax service. This commercial application allows users worldwide to receive and send faxes without actually having to own a fax machine. When receiving a fax through eFax, the service automatically emails it to your standard email account. You can then view the fax by using a program called eFax Messenger. With eFax Messenger's export tool, you can convert a fax in the proprietary EFX format to a standard PDF file.
