View XPS with XPS Document API?

Question

How can i view an XPS using the (native Windows 7) XPS Document API?

Given an XPS Object Model Package object (IXpsOMPackage), how can i render it to a bitmap or device context?

In the way a metafile can be "played" onto a device context, how can i render an XPS?

Answer 1

There is not a general-purpose native API for rendering XPS documents included in Windows.

You can use the XPS OM Thumbnail Generator to render to a PNG or JPEG, but the image size is limited to 300x300 pixels.
