XPS Viewer for Mac
Kristof promised you a few weeks ago that the upcoming version of NiXPS (v1.5) will have some really exciting features. Let me give you a sneak peek at one of them.
We start from a document we saved from Powerpoint 2007 to XPS, which can be viewed in NiXPS v1.5 beta 1 on Windows:
This is not new - actually it is, but it is not very noticeable on Windows. If you copy the XPS file over to Mac, and open it with NiXPS v1.5 beta 1 for Mac, you get:
Full XPS previewing on Mac: that's right ;-)
We developed our own native renderer for XPS, and as a result we can preview XPS files on non-Windows platforms in NiXPS v1.5.
This is a fantastic feature, and improves the user experience tremendously.
We're finishing NiXPS v1.5 beta 1 as we speak, and bring it on-line later this week (to a limited audience at first). ¶ 16:53
