XPS export dialog
Font Subset: Any fonts used in your document are automatically embedded into the
XPS document to enable the viewer to correctly display all text. Selecting this option
embeds fonts containing only those characters used in the document. This can
significantly reduce the XPS file size.
View XPS when finished: This will automatically open the XPS viewer and display the
saved file.
Rasterization
XPS is a vector format, but it doesn’t support some of the advanced effects, fill and
transparency types supported by Xara. Files containing, for example, objects with
feathered edges will result in that object being rasterized, that is converted into an
alpha-channel bitmap. The resolution of this rasterization process is controlled by
these fields.
Resample JPEG images
JPEG photo images contained in a Xara file are usually embedded as the full
resolution original JPEG file (and is thus a lossless process). However, for many
applications this might be overkill. E.g. a typical modern digital camera can easily
create a 4Mbyte JPEG file, 3000 pixel across or more. If this is placed on the page in
Xara and scaled to be say 2 inches across, that photo would be at a resolution of more
than 1500dpi – way more than is required for any printing application. (The resolution
of bitmap object is shown on the Status line in Xara).
