Good way other than google docs to convert MS .xps files to pdf

[calliex]

I have a need to convert Microsoft .xps files to pdf on a mac. Only way I have found so far is to bring the file into google docs and then print to pdf. Is there an app for the mac to do this. I have not found any as of yet.

If you have Homebrew, then see the answer here: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/213300/convert-xps-to-pdf

From the article:

1. open terminal (cmd+space and write terminal)
2. brew install libgxps
3. xpstopdf file.xps file.pdf
4. open file.pdf

This uses GhostScript under the covers, so since there was a recent GhostScript/ImageMagick security issue with malicious PDFs similar caveats apply here, but if you trust the XPS files you should be OK.

If you have a Linux system such as Ubuntu it also probably has access to "xpstopdf".
