PageSender Help

Select a Cover Page

Choose No Cover Page to send your fax without a cover page. Choose Default Cover Page to send your fax with PageSender's default cover page. Or, choose any of your custom cover pages which appear in the menu to use those. For example, you might choose My Custom Cover to use that as your cover page.

Create a Custom Cover Page

To create your own custom cover page, choose New RTFD Cover Page or New PDF Cover Page from the cover page pop-up menu. Name your new cover page and specify where it will be stored. Your new copy of the default cover page will open in TextEdit if you chose RTFD, or PDFpen if you chose PDF. Edit your new cover page to suit your tastes. You can use PDFpen to edit cover pages even if you did not purchase a copy of PDFpen. Download a copy of PDFpen here. PageSender will automatically suppress watermarks in cover pages created from an unregistered copy of PDFpen. The PDF format will give more flexibility in laying out your cover page to get precisely the look you want.

If any of these tags appear in your cover page, they will be replaced as follows:

<PAGESENDER-SENDER>	Will be replaced by your long user name. (The Name field as it appears in the Users panel of the System Preferences.)
<PAGESENDER-RECIPIENT>	Current recipient of the form First Last (Company) or First Last if no company is specified.
<PAGESENDER-RECIPIENTS>	List of all recipients of the form: First Name (Company), Second Name (Company). Note: Pay careful attention to how you indent this field. We recommend you turn on the ruler ("Show Ruler" in the "Text" submenu of the "Format" menu in TextEdit) and ensure this field is indented properly.
<PAGESENDER-REGARDING>	Contents of the Re: field for this fax
<PAGESENDER-MESSAGE>	Contents of the Message: field for this fax
<PAGESENDER-ISODATETIME>	ISO-format date (e.g. 2002-08-30 12:28:26 +0800)
<PAGESENDER-DATE>	Long Date, format per System Preferences / International / Date (e.g. Friday, August 30, 2002)
<PAGESENDER-SHORTDATE>	Short Date, format per System Preferences / International / Date (e.g. 08/30/02)
<PAGESENDER-TIME>	Time, format per System Preferences / International / Time (e.g. 12:28 PM)
<PAGESENDER-DATETIME>	Long Date & Time, format affected by System Preferences / International / Date & Time (e.g. Friday, August 30, 2002 12:28:26 Asia/Shanghai)
<PAGESENDER-SHORTDATETIME>	Short Date & Time, format affected by System Preferences / International / Date & Time (e.g. 30 Aug 2002 12:28 PM)
<PAGESENDER-TOTALPAGES>	Total number of pages in fax, including cover
<PAGESENDER-NAME>	Current recipient's name only
<PAGESENDER-COMPANY>	Current recipient's company only
<PAGESENDER-FAXNUMBER>	Current recipient's fax number

Add Your Own Cover Page

To use a cover page created in another application, choose Link Cover Page... You may choose any RTF, RTFD, or PDF document, including those created by TextEdit, AppleWorks and Microsoft Word. Note: When saving cover pages in AppleWorks, you must add your own ".rtf" extension for those documents to appear.

The same list of tags above will be replaced if they appear in your added cover page.

Edit a Cover Page

To open an existing cover page for editing in the application with which it was created, select the name of the cover page from the Edit submenu.

Remove a Cover Page

To remove an existing cover page from the list, select the name of the cover page from the Unlink submenu. The file will not be deleted, and you may restore the removed cover page to the list by using Link Cover Page.

Cover Page Notes

Only the first page of your custom cover page will be processed as the cover page, even if you choose a document which has more than one page. PageSender does not support multi-page covers at this time.
PDF cover pages must be edited in PDFpen in order to add tags to the page. TAGS CAN BE EMBEDDED IN ANY TEXT IMPRINT.
