General Notes
Conversions of XPS documents into editable formats and PDF-XPS do not require having any additional component installed on the computer.
Performance and speed will be enhanced if your computer’s processor, memory, and available disk space exceed minimum requirements. This is especially true when converting very large color PDF files. Hyper-thread enabled or multi-processor systems can deliver better performance.
Conversion to different editable formats can be performed whether or not the target applications are installed on your system. However, to use the results, you need the applications associated to the target file types you want to use.
To get full PDF Portfolio support, a Flash player component has to be installed on the computer.
