In the computer we get used to handling, managing and sharing a number of different documents , since through them we store different information and data in a simple and orderly way..
There are files with different types of extensions, each one created to allow the user to manage and work focused on a special segment, as well as with the XLSX extensions we can work with Excel files, DOCX for text files.
There is an extension that is XPS which we can find at some point when using Windows 10. This by default cannot be opened with a browser as a PDF file .
