Editor to share with you what xps means, I believe most people do not know much about it, so share this article for your reference, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, let's go to understand it!

Xps is XML Paper Specification, the abbreviation of XML document specification, is an electronic file format, it is a document preservation and viewing specification developed by Microsoft; this specification itself describes this format and the rules followed for distributing, archiving, displaying and processing XPS documents.

XPS is the abbreviation of XML Paper Specification (XML document Specification Book). It is an electronic file format. It is a standard for document preservation and viewing developed by Microsoft. The previous development code was "Metro". The specification itself describes this format and the rules followed for distributing, archiving, displaying, and processing XPS documents. XPS is a fixed layout of the electronic file format, you can save the file format, and with file sharing features users do not need to have the software to create the document to browse or print the document, for Microsoft against the Adobe PDF format of the sharp weapon, in the online view or print XPS file, you can ensure that its format is the same as you want, and other users can not easily change the file data.

XPS technology

XPS--XML Paper Specification (XML document Specification) is one of the many eye-catching technologies of Windows Vista. Literally, this technique uses the standard XML language as a carrier to describe paper documents. As a part of .net Frame Work3.0 technology, XPS technology is integrated into Windows Vista operating system.

XPS is a description format of electronic documents in pages based on XML format. This means that XPS can and will act as the page description language (page description language, or PDL) for printers. If the operating system can generate document descriptions and commands that can be printed immediately, then there is no need for an intermediate conversion between a graphics drawing command and a printer-specific language. XPS technology means that the description language of electronic documents is unified with the description language of printers, which not only makes the processing and printing of electronic documents more efficient, but also increases the reliability and accuracy of document printing. In one fell swoop, it has solved the troubles that have long perplexed users with high printing accuracy.

Microsoft's new document XPS technology will have a profound impact on the printing and imaging industries in the long run. The most obvious revolutionary change is that XPS technology uses a new subset of Native Language--XAML to replace GDI and GDI+ as Windows's description language for providing, displaying, and printing fixed documents. With the help of the powerful drawing ability and accuracy of the new graphic representation system of Vista, the printing device with XPS as the printing description language can provide better performance, stronger flexibility and more compatibility than the traditional GDI printer. Major printer suppliers have begun planning to produce printing and imaging devices with built-in support for XPS. In order to deliver on the promise of backward compatibility, Windows Vista's printing subsystem will continue to support traditional printing devices.

XPS documents have a standard physical organization and logical structure. Physical organization is a Package composed of document parts, while logical organization is a hierarchical structure formed by references between document parts. XPS documents are stored in a ZIP file, called a Package, and XPS documents are compressed in accordance with the OPC specification (Open Packaging Conventions). In terms of file physical structure, XPS Document is a compressed ZIP archive package, which can save some of the waste of space efficiency caused by its use of XML-based language through industry-standard ZIP compression. The basic element of the archive package is the Part. The hierarchical relationship of components, which is composed of components and components referencing each other, is the logical structure of XPS. The parts of an XPS document are organized in a logical hierarchy, with Fixed Document Sequence parts at the top level. The XPS portfolio may contain multiple fixed format documents (Fixed Document), and the order of these documents is determined by their order in the Fixed Document Sequence.

The above is all the contents of this article "what does xps mean?" Thank you for reading! I believe we all have a certain understanding, hope to share the content to help you, if you want to learn more knowledge, welcome to follow the industry information channel!
