Extract text from report and preset files (RPS)
To convert RPS reports and presets to another format, you need DevExpress or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Printable Report Data File" file type, you need software like DevExpress or a similar tool.
The .RPS file extension primarily represents a Printable Report Data file generated by the DevExpress ExpressPrinting System. These files serialize complex visual layouts, typography, and database records intended for rendering via the TdxReportViewer component. A secondary, but highly technical use case is the 3ds Max Render Preset file, which stores rendering environment configurations for Autodesk 3ds Max using a legacy Microsoft Compound binary architecture. Minor variations of the .RPS extension also include Acumatica Cloud ERP parameter files, INRS psychosocial risk assessments formatted in JSON, and save games for the strategy game Realpolitiks.
The primary disadvantage of the .RPS format is vendor lock-in. If you receive a DevExpress .RPS report file but are not a software developer with the specific compiled libraries installed, the file is entirely useless. The proprietary serialization means you cannot open it in standard web browsers, basic text editors, or free office suites. It locks your crucial business data inside a closed ecosystem, creating severe friction when sharing reports across departments.
To make this data readable, you must convert the .RPS file. For universal sharing and long-term archiving, convert the report to PDF or .PDF/A. If you need to extract the raw text and tables for spreadsheet editing, target CSV or TXT, though you will lose the visual layout. For web deployment, converting to HTML is the best choice.

Convert.Guru analyzes your RPS file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted RTF, RSP, TXT, PDF, DOCX, PRS, PNG, SPS, RPA, SPV, MHT, UDF and RPF files.
If you want to convert RPS file to RPM, MYR, INI, CFG, CONF, CONFIG, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML or ENV, you can use DevExpress or similar software from the "Printable Report Data Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert ZSHRC, CONF, RCFILE, GITCONFIG, RC, PLIST, BASHRC, CONFIG, PROFILE, INI, PREFS or CFG files to RPS, try DevExpress or another comparable tool in the "Printable Report Data Storage" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our RPS converter.
