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 |access-date=2009-07-11 |archive-url= https://archive.today/20120913223848/http://www.microsoft-watch.com/content/business_applications/pdf_and_xps_when_acronyms_compete.html |archive-date= 2012-09-13 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

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