About the OXPS format

OpenXPS was published as the ECMA-388 standard in 2009. It is XPS with small changes, and from Windows 8 on, printing to the XPS Document Writer produces an OXPS file. Like PDF, it keeps the exact layout of the pages.

The XPS Viewer of Windows 7 cannot open OXPS, newer Windows no longer installs a viewer by default, and Macs and phones have none. Converting OXPS to PDF makes the document open everywhere; it can also become Word, JPG or PNG.
