XML Paper Specification (XPS)
is a secure fixed-layout format developed by Microsoft that retains the
form you intended on a monitor or printer. An XPS is useful when you
want to create a document primarily intended to be read and printed, not
modified. Office allows you to save a document as an XPS file, which
you can send to others for review in an e-mail. XPS includes support for
digital signatures and is compatible with Windows Rights Management for
additional protection. The XPS format also preserves live links with
documents, making files fully functional. To view an XPS file, you need
to have a viewer—free downloadable software from Microsoft Office
Online—installed on your computer.
