RE: XPS Viewer on Windows 10 - Removed in new OS installs -
Randy, You certain can make this look seamless, and quick frankly this is how many newer systems are working. You switch to that printer, have it produce the document silently to a location you manage, open it using a shell command or WIN32API. The user can then close it and you can clean it up later, or move it somewhere for the user. If you use the current version of QuickBooks, that exactly how they work... Steve * Stephen J.

Hi Jim, Thanks for the idea. Don't think MS Print to PDF will substitute as a seamless "Preview" But it's certainly an idea worth entertaining.

Maybe not ideal, but there is Microsoft Print to PDF built in to Windows 10.

XPS Viewer on Windows 10 - Removed in new OS installs -
Hi 4D! MS Strikes again! As of 15/Aug/2018 - Windows 10 Build 1803 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/planning/windows-10-1803-removed-features MS is removing XPS Viewer as a standard installation for new installations of Windows 10, starting with release 1803 Upgrade to 1803 apparently will not be affected. Yes, it can be manually re-installed. However many of our customers don’t want to be bothered with this. Is there anything in the works as a previewer replacement instead of XPS viewer? Thanks!
