XPS viewer for linux?

Question

I've tried googling but haven't found much.

Is there an XPS viewer for linux?

Ideally I'd like it to have minimal dependencies (for sure, nothing like KDE or GNOME (GTK's fine though)).

Answer 1

The developers of Ghostscript, Artifex, have an XPS Viewer for Linux which presumably has the same requirements as Ghostscript. The download page for the whole suite is here. Also, here is a page from Microsoft that lists XPS related products.

Answer 2

I think you should get Okular, since it's the best XPS viewer for Linux:

Okular is a universal document viewer based on KPDF for KDE 4. This means Okular works on multiple platforms, including but not limited to Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, *BSD, etc.

Okular combines the excellent functionalities of KPDF with the versatility of supporting different kind of documents, like PDF, Postscript, DjVu, CHM, XPS, ePub and others.

Answer 3

As part of the Ghostscript-related suite of GhostPDL page description languages, there is the commandline gxps which can...

• ...make XPS files display on screen: gxps file.xps,
• ...convert XPS files to PDF (or PostScript, JPEG, TIFF, PNG, ...).

The command to convert an XPS to PDF would be

gxps \
  -o output.pdf \
  -sDEVICE=pdfwrite \
   input.xps

Answer 4

mupdf is a very lightweight, fast and small PDF and XPS viewer.
