The industry standard for sharing, presenting, and transferring business documents is now PDF. Your XPS files can be shared, stored, and combined with other important documents with confidence once they have been converted to PDFs. Document files in the Portable Document Format (PDF) can include text, hyperlinks, and occasionally even images. A PDF and an XPS (XML Paper Specification) file are extremely similar. Indeed, converting XPS files to PDFs is simple. You’ll need one or more XPS files to get started. To begin, drag and drop up to twenty XPS files into the "Drop Your Files Here" section. The conversion process is initiated by our system as soon as a file is uploaded. Once the conversion process is complete, click the "DOWNLOAD" button to open your newly created PDF. Our conversion tool ensures the security of your data. After 60 minutes, we permanently remove every upload to our server. Your files and data are kept safe because neither the uploads nor the conversions take longer than an hour! You also don’t have to worry about losing your original XPS files. Our server makes a copy of the XPS file you upload, which is subsequently converted. You can safely keep the original document on your computer or mobile device.
Let’s discuss the software that opens XPS files.
An XML paper specification file is an XML file. Use NiXPS View or the built-in Windows XPS Viewer to open one. Software like PDFaid.com and Zamzar can be used to convert XPS files into other formats like PDFs, JPGs, and DOCX. Microsoft Reader can be used to open XPS files on Windows 10 and 11. On a Mac, XPS files can be opened with Pagemark, and the Pagemark XPS Viewer plug-in is available for Firefox and Safari web browsers. Uploading an XPS file to Zamzar is one of the quickest ways to convert it to PDF, JPG, PNG, or other image-based formats. The same can be done with the paid version of Able2Extract.
However, how can I batch convert XPS to PDF?
Open the Win2PDF Desktop "Batch Convert" window and select "PDF" as the "Convert To Format" in order to batch convert XPS to PDF. The folder containing the XPS files to be converted should be selected as the "Convert Files From" location, and the location for the converted PDF files should be selected as the "Save To" folder. These places have to be distinct. The conversion of the source files is managed by the "Save Type" setting. Options include:
- Save Description Type
- Specific Files
- Every file is transformed into a distinct file with a name derived from the original file.
Now let’s discuss what XPS in PDF stands for.
Microsoft created the XPS (XML Paper Specification) file format as an alternative to Adobe Systems’ PDF (Portable Document Format). When creating completed documents that are prepared for distribution, such as financial reports, tax returns, contracts, legal documents, newsletters, and resumes, both PDF and XPS file formats are widely used. The fact that the typefaces utilized in the document are embedded in the file, ensuring optimal display and printing on different computers and printers, is a major benefit of both the XPS and PDF formats. Both formats function well, but Office 2007 and 2010 users will benefit from the XPS format since it eliminates the need for extra software to view XPS-based documents since Microsoft Word does so automatically. In contrast, in order to view a PDF document, the user must download a PDF reader, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader. Similarly, in order to view XPS-based files, users who do not have Word 2007 or 2010 installed must download and install the Microsoft Word Viewer. You can download Word Viewer and Acrobat Reader for free.
