PDF to OXPS conversion is the process of transforming a Portable Document Format (PDF) file into an Open XML Paper Specification (OXPS) file, preserving page layout, fonts, and vector graphics in a fixed-layout XML-based format. This conversion is useful when you need an OXPS document for Windows printing, archival workflows, or compatibility with applications that prefer the OpenXPS standard.
