Appendix C – Creating Cover Pages
Cover pages for the FaxFinder x30 family of products are PDF forms. The FaxFinder will fill out the form
fields that it knows about, with information specific to the fax, and insert the PDF as the first page of the
fax. In order to do this, the field names in the form must match exactly with the field names that
FaxFinder will try to fill in. FaxFinder x30 models only know how to fill in text fields and ignores most
formatting. For best results make your form as simple as possible. You will probably have to send a
couple of test faxes to get the formatting the way you want. Check out the examples which are pre-
installed on the FaxFinder for a starting point.
Tips:
•
Make sure your text fields are large enough to fit the information that you wish to be displayed.
If the text doesn’t fit in the field it will be truncated.
•
Choose a standard font of reasonable size.
