Microsoft Fax doesn't work with Adobe Reader 7?

[Geoff D]

I'm not sure if anyone else has encountered this problem, but I created
an application that sends faxes through the Windows XP version of
Microsoft Fax, and when I attempted to send a fax with a PDF
attachment, my application would lock up whenever I called the
ConnectedSubmit function. The application worked perfectly for faxes
with other types of attachments (i.e. Microsoft Word files, text files,
etc). I discovered that after uninstalling Adobe Reader 7, and
installing Adobe Reader 6, the faxes with PDF files attached worked
perfectly. So, just wondering if anyone else has encountered this
problem, and wanted to convey my findings to anyone else who might be
encountering the same problem. Hopefully this is something that Adobe
will release a fix for in the near future.

Seems to me you need to have a printto verb defined for PDF files if you
expect the Fax Service to send them.
