About XPS to PDF

XPS to PDF solves a small but annoying problem. Windows can print to XPS, and the Microsoft XPS Document Writer sometimes gets picked instead of a PDF printer, leaving you with a statement, a ticket or a report that Macs, phones and most people can't open. OXPS files from newer versions of Windows have the same problem.

Upload the .xps or .oxps file and you get a regular PDF of the same document, ready to email, upload to a portal or print. There's nothing to set up and no XPS viewer to install, and it works from any browser, including on a phone.
