It depends on what platform you're using, for one thing, as well as what fax
software you use. Most fax packages store native documents in a
quasi-proprietary TIF format that can't be used directly by other
applications.
On my system, I'd just have FaxWorks export them as bitmaps or PCX, then use
PMView to size and rotate them, if necessary.
