Yes, you can do it all from filePro:

1. Create the pdf file
2. Create the message text (if any)
3. Create the email message as you do now and attach the pdf file to it
4. Address the email to: 12345678901 at myfax.com where 234 is the area  
code
    and 5678901 is the phone number of the destination fax

In the case of myfax.com the email subject becomes the title of the  
fax cover page.  In the case of greenfax.com the subject must always  
be the username greenfax assigns to you.
