its a little trick I like to call _READING_... thats why the web form says upload a PDF. It doesnt say a thing about MS-Word. Is it April 1? Is there a full moon out? what gives?

Let's rephrase it in other way: is it possible to add support for other formats, like, word, plain text, html, excel? Are there any third party modules or solutions for converting you may recommend?

well the web-ui is simple enough that you can write your own program that runs from a desktop and then publishes a fax-tiff images via HTML post to the form. You could even build it as a print driver that takes it, converts it to tiff, then publishes the data to your user portal the same way the thirdlane desktop manipulates the web form.

eric,
this printer driver that you describe is exactlly what I'm looking for, do you know if there is something like that availble?

these sort of things exist as modules of code or libraries.. so you would buy the printer to fax library and bolt the rest of it onto with a good programmer.
