This tutorial will show you how to print to the
Microsoft XPS Document Writer from an application to save as a
XPS file in
Vista,
Windows 7, and
Windows 8.
The
Microsoft XPS Document Writer (MXDW) is a print-to-file driver that allows you to create XML Paper Specification (XPS) document files using
any program that you can print from in Windows. You would print to the XPS Document Writer when you want to create, send, and share or publish documents that you do not want other people to modify, or when you want to print a document or display it online exactly as it appears on your screen. It's also a good idea to create an XPS document for files that contain graphics or illustrations that might otherwise display differently in print than online or on computers with different monitors.
XPS documents are easy to share because you can view them on any computer where an XPS viewer is installed, even if the computer doesn't have the same programs that you used to create the original documents.
Windows 7 comes with a built-in
XPS Viewer.
