The XML Paper Specification (XPS, formerly codenamed "Metro") describes the XPS Document format. A document in XPS Document format (XPS Document) is a paginated representation of electronic paper described in an XML-based format. The XPS Document format is an open, cross-platform document format that allows customers to effortlessly create, share, print, and archive paginated documents.
XPS Documents use a file container that conforms to the Open Packaging Conventions. The new file formats in the next version of the Microsoft Office System, codenamed "Office 12," also use the Open Packaging Conventions for organizing data into files, allowing businesses to be able to manage Office 12 documents and XPS Documents in the same manner.
