Understanding XPS and TXT file formats

XPS (XML Paper Specification) is a file format developed by Microsoft that represents a fixed-layout document, similar to PDF. It is used for sharing and archiving documents while preserving the intended formatting and layout. TXT, on the other hand, is a plain text file format that contains unformatted text. It is widely used for storing simple text data without any special formatting.

Why convert XPS to TXT?
