Every fax software saves the fax as a file...So why the question of "printing" it to a file....

and if you want to save it abd edit it...Is is not possible...Fax files are in TIFF(Tagged Image File Format) so it is as good as a picture...

You will have a tough time to convert pictures into text....and if someting is handwritte....you had it...

Any thing more I can tell you ? I will be glad to help...

Hi
thank for your respons, but my question isn't to print my document by a fax application as file.
My question is the following:
I'd like to implement some kind of application which can be used from some win application as printer driver.
For example if I use Word and I want send as fax my current document, I'd like to build an application to make it.
Have you some suggestion for me?
Have you some indication where I can find some samples?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.
Nicola.

p.s.
I know FaxServer class which can be used to build a fax sender, but I don't know how can I build some application which can be used as printer driver by some win application(for example Word).

There are a few such dirvers like win2pdf and jawPDF which convert the files into pdf format by printing them...
