A selective call communication system (10), receives a facsimile (FAX) image to be delivered to at least one selective call receiver (40) capable of receiving the FAX image, has a receiver (22, 38) to receive the FAX image and a processor (20), coupled to the receiver (22, 38), to process the FAX image. The processor (20) has an optical character recognizer (OCR) (206) to recognize characters in the FAX image, a segmenter (208) to identify and mark at least one textual region (42) of the FAX image having the characters recognized by the OCR (206) and an extractor (210) to extract the at least one textual region (42) from the FAX image. The FAX image remaining forms a graphics region. A compressor (212) compresses the graphics region, an encoder (214) encodes the graphics region (44) and the at least one textual region (42) to form a hyperFAX and a transmitter (216) transmits the hyperFAX to an at least one selective call receiver (40).
