Opening XPS files is done on the Editor level (IPXV), not the Core level (IPXC).
You have to use Editor's openDoc operation for that.

Re: Distance Tool displaying incorrect number.
The problem happened because for the page UserUnit (like an addition per page scale) is specified.
In most PDFs these feature is not used.
We fixed the issue, and the fix will be included in the next build.

Re: javascript: Is there a way to get the view rotation? SOLVED
Actually, there is a way to do that:
The `viewState` object is implementation-defined and using its properties makes the code non-portable to other PDF apps.
The best way would be to check which app is in use (I believe there was a topic on the forum about that).
