Open OXPS File

OXPS extension files are similar to PDF files. These files are ZIP containers for different types of content and present that content in a paper-like layout.

Basically the OXPS files are the 'open' version of the XPS file. The difference that XPS, despite being proprietary, is the one that is used most frequently, due to the fact that problems have been reported when trying to open an OXPS file. To solve some of these problems, you must have the most current software installed on the computer.

OXPS and XPS was standardized by the Ecma International organization in 2009, based on the XML paper specification, developed for Windows in 2006.

As the XPS format is still much more popular than the OXPS, you should pay special attention before sending the file to other people, who in any case, if they have new software, will probably be able to open the file without problems.

However, if there are any issues, then you should consider converting from OXPS to XPS.

The most notable characteristics of the OXPS format is that it supports additional functionalities, such as:

  1. Calibration of a printer on a CMYK color pallet.
  2. Printing templates.
  3. Gradients and color transparency.
  4. Support for Windows system colors - WCS.
