OXPS file format
| Extension | .oxps |
| Category | documents |
| Programs | Pagemark XpsViewer Microsoft Word NiXPS View |
| Main program | Microsoft XPS Viewer |
| Description | The .oxps file cannot be opened on the computer because the necessary program has not been installed. In Windows 8, the default format for XPS documents is .oxps. These files are generated when printing to a Microsoft XPS Document Writer (MXDW) printer on a Windows 8 computer. |
| Technical details | Attention should be paid when sending files to others, as the XPS format is much more popular than the OXPS format. Newer software will open XPSeasily, while older versions may struggle. It is advisable to convert OXPS to XPS before sending them to ensure that recipients can access the document. Some may already know how to convert the files, while others may need assistance. This issue is particularly challenging with Windows 8, as OXPS is the default extension for saving documents. |
