; XPS ( XML Paper Specification )

: An XML specification developed by Microsoft, describing the formats and rules for distributing, archiving, rendering, and processing XPS documents.

Open XML Paper Specification ( also referred to as OpenXPS ), is an open specification for a page description language and a fixed-document format originally developed by Microsoft as XML Paper Specification ( XPS ) that was later standardized by Ecma International as international standard ECMA-388.

The XPS document format consists of structured XML markup that defines the layout of a document and the visual appearance of each page, along with rendering rules for distributing, archiving, rendering, processing and printing the documents.

PDF is a database of objects, created from PostScript and also directly generated from many applications, whereas XPS is based on XML.

* XPS is also known as ESCA, an abbreviation for electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis introduced by Kai Siegbahn and his research group.

Windows 7 Service Pack 1 also resolves a bug related to HDMI audio and another related to printing XPS documents.

On Microsoft Windows systems, printer drivers make use of GDI ( Unidrv or PScript-based ) or XPS ( XPSDrv ).

Notably, the markup language for XPS is a subset of XAML, allowing it to incorporate vector-graphic elements in documents, using XAML to mark up the Windows Presentation Foundation ( WPF ) primitives.

XPS supports the Windows Color System color management technology for color conversion precision across devices and higher dynamic range.

The XPS format used in the spool file represents advanced graphics effects such as 3D images, glow effects, and gradients as Windows Presentation Foundation primitives, which are processed by the printer drivers without rasterization, preventing rendering artifacts and reducing computational load.

XPS is supported on several versions of Windows.

Because the printing architecture of Windows Vista uses XPS as the spooler format, it has native support for generating and reading XPS documents.

The XPS Viewer is installed by default in Windows Vista and Windows 7.

The IE-hosted XPS viewer and the XPS Document Writer are also available to Windows XP users when they download the. NET Framework 3. 0.

The XPS Essentials Pack also includes providers to enable the IPreview and IFilter capabilities used by Windows Desktop Search, as well as shell handlers to enable thumbnail views and file properties for XPS documents in Windows Explorer.

The XPS Essentials Pack is available for Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista.

Installing this pack enables operating systems prior to Windows Vista to use the XPS print spooler instead of the GDI-based WinPrint, which can produce better quality prints for printers that support XPS in hardware ( directly consume the format ).

The source material may be encoded in any number of special page description languages such as Adobe PostScript ( PS, BR-Script ), HP Printer Command Language ( PCL ), or Microsoft Open XML Paper Specification ( OpenXPS ) generate a bitmap of the final page in the raster memory.

Even before the passage of the Recommendation Paper at the OGC, Galdos had started work on an XML Schema version of GML, replacing the rdf: resource scheme for remote references with the use of xlink: href, and developing specific patterns ( e. g. Barbarians at the Gate ) for handling extensions for complex structures like feature collections.
