Description | Fixed-layout XPS files have the same function as PDFs, and they are sometimes regarded as an potential alternative to PDFs. These files go with versions of Windows prior to 8, which uses built-in support for OXPS files. They are backwards incompatible, so it is impossible to open one in the preceding versions unless it is converted it to XPS. This extension has received ISO certification and has been recognized as an ECMA-388 standard. Even though XPS files have a simpler structure and take up less space than PDFs, they do not seem to have seized a tiny swath of popularity from PDFs so far. |

However, while XPS excels within the Microsoft ecosystem, it lacks the universal appeal and widespread adoption of PDF (Portable Document Format). PDFs have, over time, solidified their reputation as the gold standard for document exchange, renowned for preserving the content and layout consistently across diverse platforms and devices.
The process of converting XPS to PDF is often driven by the desire for a file format that is more universally recognized and easier to share. Whether for professional documentation, academic submissions, or personal archiving, the shift to PDF ensures content can be accessed by a vast majority of users without special software.
