Sometimes when I print from Firefox, if the printer is not available, I select the printer as Microsoft XPS Document Wiewer, which allows me to save the document in XPS format to my PC.
There are a lot of online services that claim to convert XPS files to PDF, but that isn't an option as the document often contains personal information.

Is there any way to convert an XPS file to PDF locally?

Note: I would prefer not to install extra software only for this purpose, a way to do this natively or with commonly available software like Microsoft Office Suit or with the Microsoft XPS Viewer itself is much preferable.

I am using Windows 7 Ultimate

For Windows 7 you will have to install additional software (unless you also have a recent version of Office, see below).
Any of the free PDF printer utilities will do.
Just open the XPS in XPS viewer and print to the PDF printer-driver. And in the future print directly to the PDF printer-driver instead of to XPS.

In case you have Office 2013, 2016 or Office 365 MS-Word can save a document directly to PDF. In that case simply make a new Word document. Load the XPS in XPS Viewer. Then Copy/Paste the XPS content into Word.

You can get GhostXPS from here:

https://ghostscript.com/download/gxpsdnld.html

Then convert like this:

gxpswin64 -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=a.pdf a.xps

You can use mutool.

mutool convert -o out.pdf in.xps
