What is oxps file? How to open oxps files?
File type specification:
The oxps file extension is mainly related to a latest variant of the XML Paper Specification, which was introduced in Windows 8 and used ever since even in current Windows 10.
The new Open XML Paper Specification (or OpenXPS) is similar to the previous XPS format, however it is not compatible and therefore uses another file ending.
OXPS and XPS documents are basically an alternative to PDF format meant for printing fixed layout documents.
The older XPS file format was originally developed by Microsoft and Ecma International for an electronic representation of digital documents that can be can easily created, shared, printed.
When you are creating .xps files in Windows 8 and Windows 10, the system saves the files in OXPS format by default. You can still change the output to older XPS thought.
The problem many users experience is that you cannot open .oxps files in Windows 7, or in any programs that support only older standard XPS format. Which means you will have to first convert oxps to xps, for example with Microsoft's XpsConverter utility.
