What is an OXPS file?

The OXPS (Open XML Paper Specification) format is a fixed-layout page description language developed by Microsoft and standardized as ECMA-388. It functions as the non-proprietary successor to the XPS format, utilizing a ZIP archive to contain distinct XML markup for page content, document relationships, and embedded resources like fonts and images. Unlike reflowable document formats, OXPS describes the exact placement of text and vector graphics for device-independent printing and viewing.

How to open an OXPS file

Windows operating systems (Windows 8 and later) provide the native 'XPS Viewer' application for decoding OXPS files. On macOS and Linux, native kernel support is absent; users must rely on third-party conversion tools (such as NiXPS) or convert the file to PDF using command-line utilities. It is notable that the legacy XPS Viewer on older Windows systems cannot open OXPS files without a dedicated converter from Microsoft.

What is an ODT file?

ODT is the text document format of the OpenDocument standard (ISO/IEC 26300), maintained by the OASIS consortium. It employs an XML-based architecture where the document's content, styles, settings, and metadata are stored in separate XML files (e.g., content.xml, styles.xml) and compressed into a single ZIP container. It serves as the default native format for the LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice suites.

How to open an ODT file

The file opens natively in LibreOffice Writer and Apache OpenOffice Writer on Linux, Windows, and macOS. Microsoft Word (2010 and later) and Google Docs also possess built-in import filters to read and edit ODT files, though minor formatting discrepancies may occur during conversion.
