Fax server 2016 incoming file foramt

Question

================= 
I recently updated to server 2016 and setup the fax server role. When I deployed the fax server the incoming faxes are stored in a folder as a .tif file. In the previous fax server 2008 the income faxes where saved as a .pdf file.
How can I change the format of the incoming faxes from .tif to .pdf file format?
I am using a US robotic internal fax modem.

Welcome to our new Microsoft Q&A Platform.

Hi,

It is by design and we are unable to change it within Windows FAX server configuration.

You can consider of 3rd party solutions/software/tool which can help you to convert the file format.
