Acrobat Pro DC used to convert XPS files from the properties menu, but the latest update gives an error message about "not supported". Why?
The Windows 7 interface to Acrobat Pro DC used to work just great until the last upgrade. You could use the properties menu selections to combine PDF files or to convert other file types into PDF just fine. It worked with XML and image file types to build a PDF. The latest Acrobat Pro DC now wants you to use a drag-and-drop to combine PDF files and gives errors with file conversion for document types that used to be supported, like XML.

XPS to PDF conversion is not supported on Acrobat Reader. Please use Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, Acrobat 2015, and Acrobat 2017 for the same.

Have edited the Registry exactly as your instructions say for Acrobat Reader DC, but still cannot use it to open (convert) an .xps file. ??

Hi,
The XPS to PDF conversion feature in the Windows versions of Acrobat DC, Acrobat 2015, and Acrobat 2017 was by default disabled in the most recent update of the product.
You can re-enable this feature by following the instructions at https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/unable-convert-xps-to-pdfs.html which involves editing the Windows registry and adding a key.
