I set up our fax line to create PDF's and send them to an inbox a year ago, and people kept losing inbound faxes that way... so we patched the number back to a physical fax machine.
And I do still deal with some suppliers who wont accept an email Purchase Order and insist on a faxed one with a signature. Also, a need at least several times a week to get signed proof of purchase of a credit card transaction. Its all well and good talking of "dinosaurs" etc, but if you want to get a copy signed receipt from a fillng station I'd wish you the best of luck telling the merchant to scan it and send you a PDF... and you'd end up crediting the transaction. In the UK, bank cards are chipped and PIN approved, but all fuel cards are still mag stripe and signature approved. We deal with stations in the wilds of Scotland and West or Ireland who dont have an EPOS at ALL and still use a click clack machine and send in manual slips for every card transaction!
