File Formats: Open XML Paper Specification Format (XPS)

The Microsoft Open XML Paper Specification format is a new electronic document format supported natively by Office 2007 and Windows VISTA. Previous versions of Windows were based on the GDI interface. The XPS format is designed for high-quality printing. The standard for XPS is TC46 - Open XML Paper Specification (XPS), which is produced by Ecma.

* When you request file information on a XPS file, Xps will always be returned for the file format, regardless of the composition of the XPS file. LEADTOOLS for WPF can read XPS documents that are made up of both text and images. The text and images are rasterized into one raster image for each page of the document. LEADTOOLS can write XPS documents that are made up of raster images only.

Note: This format is supported by the Document/Medical products only.
