Aspose.Page for .NET is an on premise .NET API that allows you to add XPS manipulation features to your own applications. The API also supports converting XPS, EPS & PS documents to other formats.

Aspose.Page for .NET (Drawing) is a recently created component that is identical to Aspose.Page for .NET, but it utilizes a different graphic backend called Aspose.Drawing instead of System.Drawing.

Developers can perform various operations on XPS documents, such as, add text, images, pages, gradient, grid using the visual brush, transparency object and set opacity mask. It allows you to create, edit and convert the file pages as well as the ability to manipulate documents and elements, create vector graphics, group shapes, and specifying colors in different color spaces including sRGB, scRGB, and any space-based on ICC profile.

Create an XPS Document from Scratch via C# Code

Execute the below code snippet to see how Aspose.Page API performs in your own environment or check the GitHub Repository for other common usage scenarios.

// create XPS document
XpsDocument xDocs = new XpsDocument();
// add glyph to the document
var glyphs = xDocs.AddGlyphs("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Regular, 300f, 450f, "Hello World!");
glyphs.Fill = xDocs.CreateSolidColorBrush(Color.Black);
// save result
xDocs.Save(dir + "output.xps");

Convert a PostScript (PS) File to PDF Format

Aspose.Page for .NET allows you to work with document conversion, such as; PS to images, PS to PDF, XPS to images, XPS to PDF and so on. The following snippet demonstrates the conversion of PS to PDF using streams:

// initialize PostScript input stream
var psStream = new System.IO.FileStream(dir + "template.ps", System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.Read);
// initialize PDF output stream
var pdfStream = new System.IO.FileStream(dir + "output.pdf", System.IO.FileMode.Create, System.IO.FileAccess.Write);
// read PS file
var document = new PsDocument(psStream);
// create a device for output steram
var device = new PdfDevice(pdfStream);
try
{
    document.Save(device, options);
}
finally
{
    psStream.Close();
    pdfStream.Close();
}
