Upload your OXPS file via the interface.
-
Select 7Z as the target archive format.
-
Optionally set encryption and multi-volume archive preferences.
-
Click the convert button to start archiving your OXPS file.
-
Download the resulting 7Z archive for storage or distribution.
Key Features
-
Converts OXPS fixed-layout documents preserving print-ready content.
-
Creates highly compressed 7Z archives using LZMA/LZMA2 compression.
-
Supports packaging multiple files and directories within the archive.
-
Offers AES-256 encryption for secure archive content.
-
Generates multi-volume or split archives suitable for large data sets.
Examples
-
Archive an OXPS report into a 7Z file to reduce storage size while maintaining the original layout.
-
Convert multiple OXPS brochures into a single encrypted 7Z archive for secure sharing.
Common Use Cases
-
Compressing and archiving paginated OXPS documents for efficient backup.
-
Creating secure, encrypted archives of printable documents for confidential distribution.
-
Splitting large OXPS content collections into multi-volume 7Z archives for easier transfer.
-
Preserving exact document layout and fonts from OXPS while reducing file size.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure compatible extraction tools are available for 7Z archives on target devices.
-
Use AES-256 encryption for sensitive documents to enhance security.
-
Leverage multi-volume archives to handle large OXPS file sets across storage limits.
-
Validate integrity of compressed archives before long-term storage.
-
Keep original OXPS files if you need to maintain native viewing or editing capability.
Limitations
-
OXPS format has limited platform support compared to PDF, requiring conversion for compatibility.
-
7Z archives may need third-party software to open on some operating systems.
-
Solid compression in 7Z can slow extraction or modification of individual files.
-
Compression and decompression using LZMA/LZMA2 can be resource intensive on low-power devices.
-
Advanced OXPS features like annotations and forms are limited compared to other standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why convert OXPS files to 7Z archives?
-
Converting OXPS files to 7Z archives reduces their size through compression, enables secure encryption, and bundles multiple files for simpler storage or transfer.
-
Can I open 7Z archives on any device?
-
7Z archive support is not native on all platforms; you might need third-party extraction tools like 7-Zip to access the contents.
-
Does converting to 7Z affect the document quality?
-
No. The 7Z format archives files without altering their content, preserving the fixed-layout quality of OXPS documents exactly.
