I just discovered this free program yesterday and I absolutely love it.
The one thing that is hindering me though, is that when I have no other PDF software installed, I cannot fax PDF attachments through Outlook 2003. If it matters I am using Windows XP Pro SP2. I used to create a purchase order in PDF and email it as an attachment to a fax user in Outlook. It would render the PDF image and send it out through the MS Fax Console.
Now since I uninstalled my Adobe software and installed this, it says that it cannot render the attachment. I believe this because the printto verb is missing. Is there a printto verb that I can put in the registry to make this work?
And I do know there are other ways to fax PDF's, such as printing them to a fax printer, but I have reasons for wanting to do it through Outlook.
Am I missing something that will make this work?

More notes on this problem
Another thing I noticed that is probably related to the PDF rendering in Outlook Faxing, is the fact that when you right-click on a PDF file, it does not give you a Print option, like it would normally if you had Adobe installed. It seems that there is no printto command in the registry for this program, only an Open command.

Yes, for now PDF-XChange viewer doesn't support printing from command line. Will add this feature into the next build.

Re: Outlook PDF conversion for faxing
I am opening this topic back up. When I try to fax from outlook through an email (exchange server) I get an email that says Cannot Render All Attachments. I am having an identical issue to as what is described above. When I try adding a PrintTo Verb it doesn't offer the option to add. When Adobe was set up this worked but doesn't any longer as I love this program and it is my default PDF handler! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Brent
