I told this story before. I was migrating an old system to a new one and we discovered that we were still sending faxes to some companies. Our system would create a PDF and send to a server that was connected to a phone line. So we called those companies to ask if we could find another way to send the documents. We learned that they too had a server with a software that would receive the fax and transform it in a PDF.
I work at a bank and it’s mind boggling how often I encounter systems very similar to this. A signed PDF isn’t good enough but send it via fax and suddenly it’s secure 🙄
