1. google for "pdfcreator"

2. yes but the ones i've used totally butcher the formatting. your best bet would be just copy and paste the text onto word and apply the formatting again.

3.

a) i'd stick to email. why spend the extra money for another piece of equipment to maintain.

b) what kind of printing volume are you looking at on a monthly basis and what's your budget?

Okay:

Let me restate: I am looking to be as paperless as possible. Do you have any experience with pdfcreator, or is getting the 99.99 per year Adobe deal better?

I guess if I make pdf's with electronic sigs., I won't have to fax out.

However, I will still need to receive faxes. Efax seems expensive for just receiving faxes; does anyone have experience (or can recommend) a cheap fax reception service?

*** If the above set up works, I will only need a printer for about 500 sheets per month. I am willng to spend up to $500 on a printer, but I am sure $250 will get me a satisfactory inkjet printer.

- Thanks for the reply so far.
