FAQ
XPS to MIF Conversion
What are XPS files?
XPS is a proprietary format used by Microsoft for documents that can contain single-page or multi-page text and images, arranged in a fixed layout. The function and features of XPS files are very similar to those of PDFs, except the former is based on the XML markup language, whereas the latter uses PostScript. The XPS format is supported by software in the Office pack, as well as by Windows OS — as opposed to PDF, which can be opened only using a specialized program (often not for free). XPS files are often used in graphics design and desktop publishing for their ability to render high quality images during pre-press processing.
What are MIF files?
MIF is the file with the shapes in MapInfo's interchange format, which stores map data as a pair of text files. In the .mif file are the points, lines, and areas of a map layer, written as readable text with their coordinates, colors, and line styles, while the attributes of these objects, such as names and numbers, are kept in the partner .mid file. MapInfo is a desktop GIS program widely used in business, telecommunications, and local government, and the MIF and MID pair is its open way of passing data to and from other programs, since it can be read and edited in any text editor. A MIF file needs its MID file with the same name to be complete.
