Hi
I need to convert MS office documents to XPS format without using MS office interops.

I tried the following,

1. Print to XPS from Code[^] - This requires native software to print to XPS.

2. Installed WDK for 8.1 for XPSDrv but could not find anything useful. Actually don't know how and where to start.

3. Tried to automate "Microsoft XPS document writer" but ended up with writing new XPS with my own content like plain text.

I am expecting a function like

C#

ConvertOrPrintToXPS(inputfile.docx, outputfile.xps)

Is it possible to convert/print to XPS without its native software without reverse engineering the input documents ?

Is there any open source code available for this conversion (C#, C++, WPF) ?

Thanks in advance

Hi Ashok. I have evaluated Spire.Office for XPS conversion already but I wanted to make an attempt before buying any third party libs.

Thank you.
