File Description Descriptor file containing information written in the XPS page description language developed by Microsoft; formatted like an .XML file and can define the layout, appearance, and printing information for a document.

XPS was designed as a replacement for the Enhanced Metafile (.EMF) format; it is similar to a .PDF file, but is based on XML instead of the PostScript language; XPS files can be created in Windows by selecting the "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" as the printer when printing a document.

XPS files can be opened with Microsoft's XPS Viewer, which is included with Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Internet Explorer 6 or later; it is also part of the XPS Essentials Pack, which can be downloaded from Microsoft and used with Windows XP.
