Microsoft Office 2010 has default support for saving files in PDF or XPS format. Previously, we had to install save as XPS addon for option to save files in XPS format in Office 2007 or use free Microsoft XPS viewer software. However, in MS Office 2010 you can save file as XPS or PDF format in any program application in few simple clicks.

Edit PDF / XPS files in Office 2010
You cannot open and edit files saved in PDF or XPS format. Instead, you need to open original Office file (like Word, Excel) in respective Office program. Then edit file for required changes and save edited file as PDF / XPS using procedure explained above.
Alternatively, you can use Adobe Acrobat or any other software for editing PDF files since direct editing of PDF / XPS files in not supported in Office 2010.
