Question

i only want to import the content as text but im getting the binary values, tried something like but its doesnt work:

$data = file_get_contents("input.xps");

theres any lib that i can use?

Answer 1

You need a tool that can convert .xps files. There is a GhostScript variant called gxps which does exactly that. http://ghostscript.com/GhostXPS.html

Conversion to text would be a two step process with it, but still simple:

exec("gxps -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=input.pdf -dNOPAUSE input.xps");
$text = exec("pdftotext input.pdf");
