Answer 1

woof woof!

you can use

ghostpdl

• http://ghostscript.com/GhostPCL.html

ghostpdl is a set of three utilities

pcl6
gxps
gsvg

to convert the file to PDF format. GhostPDL can handle SVG (and XPS or PCL) in a similar way as Ghostscript does handle PostScript

a sample of how to convert xps to pdf with gsvg

gxps -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAFER -sOutputFile=my.pdf -sDEVICE=pdfwrite file.xps

Not free, but does what you need: VeryDOC XPS to PDF Converter

Another possibility is to convert the XPS document to a Word Doc, and then use a free third party library to convert the Word Doc to PDF (such as SharpPDF).
