How to Fax a Purchase Order from iPad: Step-by-Step

  1. 1

    Download TigerFax

    Install TigerFax from the App Store on your iPad. It's free to start — no credit card required.

    💡 Tip: TigerFax is optimized for iPadOS 15+ and works on all iPads running iOS 15 or later.

    Scan your Purchase Order with iPad

    Open TigerFax and tap the camera icon. Position your iPad about 12 inches above the Purchase Order and let the auto-capture detect the edges.
