Quadrant Software's FastFax

Using FastFax on the AS/400 to send emails with attached PDFs that FastFax
creates from AS/400 reports.

Wondering if there is an option to create a character-based PDF file (as
opposed to the graphic-based now generated) for several reasons:

   * Ability to search the contents of the PDF
   * Make the PDF much more legible
   * Cut down on the size of the attachment (presumably)

Perhaps understandably, FastFax's original product generated a graphic of
the page for faxing.  Later, when they tacked on PDF support, it was
probably just easy to use the graphic they're already creating.

Anybody know?
