February 10,2009 - NiXPS releases today a new version of its unique, cross platform XPS tools facilitating the use of XPS in professional document management environments.

Cross-platform XPS conversion, viewing and editing power
NiXPS View provides basic cross-platform XPS viewing, with powerful tools such as detailed zoom, quick search and text selection, for full XPS inspection on both Mac and PC. The new NiXPS View v2.6.1 now also features PDF export, making file exchange easy for everybody. The addition of the PDF export feature makes NiXPS View v2.6.1 unique in the market. It is a great companion for those users who want to take full advantage of the built-in XPS capabilities of their desktop.

NiXPS Edit goes beyond cross-platform viewing and brings full-fledged XPS editing to the desktop, like object editing, inspection, document and page manipulations and more. New for NiXPS Edit v2.6.1 is the improved interactive text-editing tool, which greatly simplifies text correction, making it as easy as 'click and correct' and allowing quick last minute corrections.

"With the announcement of Windows 7, Microsoft reaffirmed their commitment to XPS as the future of electronic documents and printing on the Windows platform", says Nick De Roeck, managing director of NiXPS NV. "XPS is a very capable, open and safe electronic document format. With its close ties to .NET and the Office suite, and the fact that XPS creation and viewing comes for free with Windows, XPS makes a lot of sense from a business perspective", continues Nick De Roeck. "Our desktop applications bring more value to the user, with powerful conversion and editing capabilities, and cross- platform support."

For software developers NiXPS offers a powerful SDK that facilitates embracing XPS in your applications. The SDK allows the conversion of XPS to PDF, SVG and EMF, but also non-destructive object editing. All of this in a well documented SDK with examples for popular development environments like C++ and .NET, and for both Windows and Mac.
