Does anyone here know what's going on? I received an XPS file from a colleague yesterday, but I'm using a Mac and can't open it. I have tried various applications, but none seem to support XPS files. I'm not sure if I'm missing something.
XPS files can be a bit tricky on a Mac. They're a Microsoft thing, kinda like their own version of a PDF. Macs don't natively support them, which is probably why you're having a tough time.
But don't worry, you've got a couple of options:
1. Convert the XPS to PDF: There are online tools where you can upload the XPS file and they'll convert it to a PDF for you. Just search for "XPS to PDF converter" online, but always be cautious when uploading sensitive documents online.
2. Ask your colleague for a different format: Might be the simplest solution if the document isn't too confidential. They can probably save it as a PDF and send it your way.
3. Use a third-party application: There are some apps XPS reader available on the Mac App Store or other trusted website that can open XPS files on Mac. One I've heard of is called "TunesBro XPS Reader" and "Pagemark XPS Viewer" but I've never used it personally, so always check reviews and ratings before downloading.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Oh, you're using TunesBro XPS Reader? Nice choice! I've used it a couple of times myself. I remember when I first stumbled upon XPS files on my Mac and was scratching my head on how to open them. A friend recommended TunesBro XPS reader, and it was a game-changer.
The thing I really liked about TunesBro was how straightforward it was. No frills, just a clean interface that let me view my XPS files without any hitches. Plus, the zoom and search functions were super handy when I was sifting through lengthy documents. There was this one time when I had to extract a few pages, and TunesBro made it a breeze.
The only tiny hiccup I faced was during the initial setup, but their support was pretty responsive and helped me out. All in all, a solid experience!
How's it been for you? Hope you're finding it as useful as I did. Cheers!
