File Formats: Open XML Paper Specification Format (XPS)

Note: XPS and XPSX file formats are supported in the Document/Medical licensing.

The XML Paper Specification format is a new electronic document format supported natively by Microsoft Windows and Office. 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.

For more information on XPS, refer to XML Paper Specification: Overview.

Support for this file format is available in Document Imaging and above. For unlocking support, use the RasterSupport.SetLicense() method.

Note: If the support for this file format is locked and the user loaded a sample file, then a thumbnail will be loaded showing the image.

File constants associated with this file format are:

* 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.

Platforms: .NET 2/3, .NET 4

NOTE: LEADTOOLS supports writing the XPS file format using the LEADTOOLS Document Writers. For more information on the LEADTOOLS Document Writers SDK, refer to Introduction.
