How can I send a PDF file from command line in Windows to a windows fax? Of course the receiving faxno should be entered from command line.
I'm looking for something like:
c:\>FaxPdf test.pdf 044231134
Update: And no, printing is not enough, since when you use printing the faxno has to be entered manually and it should be given on the command line instead.

– LPChip – 2015-06-17T14:42:38.983And how do I enter the receiving fax number when using printing? – Sam – 2015-06-17T14:44:54.213
A quick google search lead me to a windows component called wfs.exe which can be started from the commandline. – LPChip – 2015-06-17T14:53:24.753
LPChip that would be cool - with knowing the exe Name I found something, but no Explanation how to enter a faxno. And it does not seem to work with pdfs? – Sam – 2015-06-17T15:11:48.677

@DavidPostill - no way to enter the faxno from command line :( – Sam – 2015-06-23T09:40:45.057
2To those voting to close as a duplicate, the Windows Fax may work like a printer driver, but this question has the added requirement of adding a fax number and doing it in the command line. The proposed duplicate does not address that. You might be able to incorporate a reference to the other question in an answer that provides the additional detail if it is possible to do this. – fixer1234 – 2015-06-23T13:16:53.223
