About formats

XPS (XML Paper Specification) is a fixed-layout document format developed by Microsoft, first released with Windows Vista and .NET Framework 3.0 in November 2006. Conceived as Microsoft's alternative to Adobe's PDF, XPS uses XML-based page description markup within a ZIP-based Open Packaging Conventions container. Each page is described as a FixedPage element containing paths (vector shapes with fill and stroke), glyphs (text positioned at precise coordinates), images, and canvas groupings — all specified with exact coordinates for pixel-precise rendering. The format embeds all required resources: fonts are subset and included, images are stored within the package, and the complete rendering specification travels with the document. Windows includes the XPS Document Writer as a virtual printer, allowing any application to generate XPS output through the standard print dialog. One advantage is exact visual fidelity — XPS documents render identically on any compliant viewer because every element is positioned absolutely, with no interpretation variance. Native Windows integration is another strength: XPS viewing, creation, and printing are built into Windows without additional software, and the .NET Framework provides APIs for programmatic XPS generation. While XPS did not achieve the ubiquity of PDF as a universal document format, it remains used in Windows printing infrastructure, enterprise document workflows, and scenarios where the Windows platform provides native end-to-end support.
Developer: Microsoft
Initial release: November 2006
JBG is a file extension for images compressed using the JBIG (Joint Bi-level Image experts Group) standard, formally ITU-T Recommendation T.82, completed in 1993 as a successor to the Group 3 and Group 4 fax compression standards. JBIG compression is designed for bi-level (black and white) images but can also handle grayscale and limited-color images by encoding each bit plane separately. The algorithm uses a form of arithmetic coding guided by an adaptive context model: for each pixel, the encoder examines a template of surrounding already-coded pixels to build a probability estimate, then feeds this estimate to a QM-coder (a variant of the Q-coder arithmetic coder) that produces a highly efficient binary output. JBIG achieves 20-40% better compression than Group 4 on typical document images, with the improvement being even larger on halftoned photographs and images with gradual density transitions where Group 4's simple run-length approach is less effective. The standard supports progressive encoding, where a low-resolution version of the image is transmitted first and progressively refined — useful for fax-like applications where the receiver can begin displaying the image before the full-resolution data arrives. One advantage is superior compression of documents containing halftone images: newspapers, magazines, and marketing materials that mix text with photographic halftones compress dramatically better with JBIG than with Group 3/4. The standard's ITU-T backing ensures it is implemented in document imaging hardware and software worldwide. JBG files are supported by ImageMagick and various document imaging tools.
