This is a comparison of the [[Open XML Paper Specification|OpenXPS]] [[document file format]] with the [[Portable Document Format|PDF]] [[file format]]. Both file format standards are essentially [[Container format (digital)|containers]] for representing [[Content (media and publishing)|digital content]] in a paper-like fashion.<ref>[{{Cite web |url=http://www.microsoft-watch.com/content/business_applications/pdf_and_xps_when_acronyms_compete.html |title=Microsoft Watch - Business Applications - PDF and XPS: When Acronyms Compete<!-- Bot generated title -->] |access-date=2009-07-11 |archive-url=https://archive.is/20120913223848/http://www.microsoft-watch.com/content/business_applications/pdf_and_xps_when_acronyms_compete.html |archive-date=2012-09-13 |dead-url=yes |df= }}</ref><br />

Note that OpenXPS is incompatible with .xps files generated by Windows 7 and Vista. Windows versions from Windows 8 onward generate .oxps, OpenXPS compliant files (see [[Open XML Paper Specification]]).
