OpooSoft XPS To PDF Converter

Even if you don't have a printer connected to your computer it does not mean the print function is not available. Virtual printers allow you to simply save files to a custom format, the default one provided by Windows being XPS. In this regard, OpooSoft XPS To PDF Converter provides an easy method to transform such files in a more popular and standard format like PDF.

The main window sports a modern and clean look, being polished from all points of view. A side panel lets you access general settings and tasks you can perform, while the rest of the space lets you manage corresponding settings. Everything is in plain sight, with buttons and fields you can interact with being stored in well-organized panels that make accommodation a walk in the park.

Adding files is easily done either by dragging them over the main window or with the implemented file explorer. What's more, you can target a whole directory, with options to also include files found in subfolders, which adds some degree of flexibility.

There are two methods of conversion, one for individual files while the other requires less effort on your behalf because of automation. Neither of them take too much time, nor pose any difficulty in setup.

The first provides a little more variety and you can manage each file by equipping them with passwords for more security and enabling certain privileges, like the possibility to print. You can choose to have all files merged into a single PDF document, which comes in handy for research or large presentations.

Accessing the hot folder provides a more comfortable approach on the whole process. You mostly need to pick a target and destination folder, while hitting the “Start” button makes the application keep an eye on any changes. Monitor interval can be specified in seconds, with all new XPF files found in the input folder being converted to PDF on the spot.

A few general settings aim to bring even more comfort. You can make the application run when Windows starts and have the monitor process started, options to handle several computer power options when a task is done, as well as action to take on existing files. However, conversion is done fast, and you might end up with your computer suddenly shutting down, while the automated process makes every other function inaccessible, with no option to simply have it monitor from the system tray.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that OpooSoft XPS To PDF Converter gets the job properly done, with no functionality issues or too many system resources used. However, it lacks more advanced options such as the possibility to add watermarks, while the automated process can sometimes be a pain. It's worth a try nonetheless, but alternatives can be found that let you directly print to PDF.
