NiXPS launches search software for Microsoft page format

Belgian software developer NiXPS has launched new software to handle Microsoft's page description language XPS.

NiXPS View is a tool for viewing and searching XPS documents on both PC and Mac that provides visual searching by thumbnails and text searches.

NiXPS Edit provides document editing tools and the ability to save XPS files as PDFs. Features include document merge and page extraction, variable data support, text and object editing.

The firm has also updated NiXPS Lib, its C++ library, which allows third-party software developers to add XPS support to their own applications.

View and Edit are available from the firm’s website to buy or as a 30-day trial. Edit costs £213 (€299) and View £54.
