More Document Options

This page lets you set additional document-specific transmission options. The default values are assigned by your RightFax administrator. After making changes, click the Submit Options button. The new information is only valid for the document currently being created and will not be saved.

Use Fine-Mode Resolution for Fax Body. Documents sent to fax addresses can be sent at two different resolutions: Normal (100 x 200 dots per inch) and Fine (200 x 200 dots per inch). Normal mode works well for draft-quality resolutions and shorter transmission times, while fine resolution is recommended for high-quality printed documents. Check this option to use fine mode.

Send Cover Sheet. Check this option to include a cover sheet on your document. By default, the RightFax Web Client will automatically create and send a cover sheet from the information entered on the Create/Edit Document page.

Use Fine-Mode Resolution for Cover Sheet. Check this option to render your document cover sheet in fine mode (200 x 200 dots per inch).

Cover sheet to use. Select a cover sheet from the drop-down list.

Form Type to Use. Overlay forms are image files that combine with your document so the two images appear together. Company letterhead is a commonly used overlay form. You can add one overlay form per document. Select the form you want to use from the list.

From Options. If you are creating an outgoing document, you can change your sender contact information as it will appear on your cover sheet. This lets you change the contact information for this document only. It will not affect your default settings.

If you are scanning texts into Acrobat, it's good practice to take the following steps before sharing them so that the file size will be smaller and the document easier to download and print: 

1. Document > OCR Text Recognition > Recognize Text Using OCR (this recognizes the text and reduces the file size a lot)

2. Document > Reduce File Size, then choose Acrobat 7.0 (this is the backwards-compatibility issue mentioned above)

3. Document > Optimized Scanned PDF, then make sure the indicator is somewhere in the middle between Smaller File and Higher Quality.

Built-in PDF Reader for Kindle DX

Your Kindle DX can display PDF documents without losing the formatting of the original file. Send PDF documents directly to your Kindle (via your @Kindle address) or drag and drop PDF files from your computer to your Kindle (when connected via USB). You can also magnify PDFs by viewing them in landscape mode.

Some features are not currently supported, including annotations, Text-to-Speech, and zooming and panning.

Option to Convert PDF Files to Kindle Format

If you prefer to have your personal PDF documents converted to the Kindle format so you can take advantage of Kindle functionality such as variable font size, annotation, Text-to-Speech, etc., type "Convert" in the subject of the e-mail when you submit your personal document to your @kindle.com address.

Image-heavy PDF files are presented in landscape orientation and don't work with devices that have auto-rotation, so those will be delivered in the Kindle format.
