"XPS is a hidden treasure in your IT infrastructure", says Nick De Roeck, managing director of NiXPS NV. "Why not take advantage of this incredibly rich and capable document technology, which comes for free with each copy of Windows Vista and Windows 7. Every organization that has invested, or is planning to invest, in Windows desktops can make their document flow much more efficient and cost-effective by adopting XPS. NiXPS offers the best tools to let businesses and users all over the world take advantage of XPS. Do more with XPS!".
Notes
NiXPS View v3.0 introduces annotations, which can be managed in NiXPS View itself, but are visible in every XPS viewer, including the default viewers that are part of Windows Vista and Windows 7.
This facilitates the use of XPS as a great format for sharing and reviewing documents.
Javascript
With the ability to script NiXPS View, the application reaches out to professionals and users who have a want to customize their document flow. Javascript is very easy to pick up, and thanks to the link to the powerful NiXPS SDK api, it becomes an enabler for adding things like watermarks, barcodes, optional content, and the like. It can even be used to automate processing and gather data from XPS documents.
Efficient UI
NiXPS View is an easy to use application that helps you get things done faster and more efficient. You can read XPS documents and interact with them in a natural way. The application provides a simple and well thought-out UI, with support for zooming, panning & scrolling. Document interactivity is provided by supporting the optionally available document outline, and by supporting embedded links. Our Quick-search allows you to scan for words quickly, and our rich conversion options will ensure that NiXPS View will be your application of choice for all things related to XPS.
