PCT to OXPS conversion is the process of transforming an Apple PICT/PackBits-based PCT image file into an OpenXPS (OXPS) fixed-layout document format. This conversion repackages vector and raster image data from a PCT container into an OXPS page description so the image can be preserved in a paginated, printer-friendly XPS-compatible document.
