Greetings -
 
Is there a way to build a Print to Fax button in a PDF Form, similar to a Print button, only the fax button would be set with a pre-defined fax number?
Thanks.

The only way to do this would be to have a "Print to Fax" driver on the users system. The JavaScript print fucntion can take a driver name as input, but the fax number cannot be used in this context.

The best way to do this is to use an online Fax Service. You would need to write a server script to call the fax service. Then have the PDF submit to your server script.
