XpsDocument Class

Provides a Package that holds the content of an XPS document.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Xps.Packaging
Assembly:  ReachFramework (in ReachFramework.dll)
 Syntax
Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Class XpsDocument _
    Inherits XpsPartBase _
    Implements IDisposable
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As XpsDocument
C# 
public class XpsDocument : XpsPartBase, 
    IDisposable
Visual C++

    IDisposable
JScript

XAML 
You cannot directly create an instance of this class in XAML.
 Remarks

An XpsDocument contains a FixedDocumentSequence that comprises one or more FixedDocument elements.

The XpsDocument constructor is passed a reference to a Package for writing, storing, and reading the content elements of the document.

A new empty XPS Package is created by using the Package constructor.

An existing XPS Package is opened by using the Package..::.Open method.

A FixedDocumentSequence root is added to an empty XPS Package by calling the AddFixedDocumentSequence method.

PrintTicket elements with printer information and control can also be associated with the FixedDocumentSequence, or on individual FixedDocument and FixedPage elements that are stored in the XpsDocument.

For more information about XPS see the XML Paper Specification (XPS) available for download at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=65761.

Creating an XPS Document from a WPF FlowDocument      Simon Guest   |   Edit   |   Show History
Did you know, it's possible to generate an XPS Document from a WPF FlowDocument as follows:

MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
Package _container = Package.Open(ms, FileMode.Create);
using (XpsDocument xpsd = new XpsDocument(_container))
{
XpsDocumentWriter writer = XpsDocument.CreateXpsDocumentWriter(xpsd);
writer.Write(((IDocumentPaginatorSource)doc).DocumentPaginator);
}
_container.Close();
byte[] xpsDocBytes = ms.ToArray();
ms.Close();

doc is your input FlowDocument. xpsDocBytes is the output, which can be written to filestream and saved to disk.
