Passport supports TIFF, PDF, and Microsoft Office document formats for outbound fax transmission. In practice, that means the documents your team is already working with, reports generated by your EHR, PDFs from your document management system, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and standard image formats, can be sent directly through Passport without requiring manual conversion or
