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>[http://www.microsoft-watch.com/content/business_applications/pdf_and_xps_when_acronyms_compete.html Microsoft Watch - Business Applications - PDF and XPS: When Acronyms Compete<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><br />

Pay attention that OpenXPS is incompatible with .xps files generated by Windows 7 and Vista. Only from Windows 8 and 10, Windows can generate OpenXPS .oxps compliant files, see [[Open XML Paper Specification]]
