At first sight, XPS and PDF files are very similar in terms of size and features. They are both able to store documents including images, text, tables, charts and other types of fixed design page features. They are both difficult to modify, so they are useful for archiving various files which need a non-editable format in any business — invoices, memos, reports, contracts, books.
However, many users find there are some advantages of one format over the other.
While reading or creating PDFs requires specialized software developed, for example, by Adobe — and which might be downloaded in exchange of a fee, XPS is supported for free by all users of the Microsoft Windows platform. The XPS Document Writer is embedded in the Microsoft Office pack and helps users create XPS files using any type of program that allows printing. On the other hand, PDF is far more popular at the moment than XPS.
In case you have created one or more XPS documents and want to convert them to PDF for easier transferring options, reaConverter can help you do batch conversion in no more than a few seconds.
