You say "sendfax or faxmail" but really you just mean "faxmail" because 
sendfax can handle PDF natively just fine.

The best thing that you could do for yourself is to follow the faxmail 
instructions, as you have, but write your own version of faxmail in your 
favorite programming language (shell, php, perl, python, whatever).  
Assuming that you have uudecode available to you doing writing a faxmail 
replacement will amount to under 100 lines of code, a few hours of 
work... and in the end you have something more versatile and more 
understandable than faxmail can be.
