What is XPS?
Microsoft users are probably familiar with the XPS format. This file format has been around for a while. Even though it offers many advantages, XPS is not so easy to handle. For effective handling, the best option is to convert XPS to PDF.

The XPS is a standardized, open format. It stands for Open XML Paper Specification. The XPS files were first used as a replacement for the EMF format.

Too sum it up, an XPS file is Microsoft's less compatible version of a PDF file. Still, a modern version of Windows continues to include a better support for XPS files than PDF files. Microsoft Word even chooses XPS over PDF to save documents in a fixed-layout file.
