I am re-posting this as it has been closed but not solved.

Here is the XAML for an example window:

<Window x:Class="DropShadowProblem.MainWindow"

        xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

         xmlns:x="https://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

         xmlns:d="https://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"

         xmlns:mc="https://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"

         xmlns:local="clr-namespace:DropShadowProblem"

         mc:Ignorable="d"

         Title="MainWindow" Height="340" Width="600" MouseDoubleClick="MainWindow_OnMouseDoubleClick">

     <DockPanel>

         <Canvas Name="Canv">

             <Border>

                 <Viewbox StretchDirection="DownOnly" Width="580" Height="300" >

                     <TextBlock FontSize="400" Foreground="BlueViolet" Text="Hello" >

                         <TextBlock.Effect>

                             <DropShadowEffect ShadowDepth="30"></DropShadowEffect>                         </TextBlock.Effect>

                     </TextBlock>

                 </Viewbox>

             </Border>

         </Canvas>

     </DockPanel>

 </Window> 

And here is the code behind:

using System.IO; using System.Printing;

using System.Windows; 

using System.Windows.Input; 

using System.Windows.Xps.Packaging; 

using Microsoft.Win32; 


namespace DropShadowProblem

{

     public partial class MainWindow : Window

     {

         public MainWindow()

         {

             InitializeComponent();

         }

private void MainWindow_OnMouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)

         {

             var sfd = new SaveFileDialog { Filter = "XPS files (*.xps)|*.xps" };

             if (sfd. ShowDialog() != true) return;

             var c = Canv;

             var doc = new XpsDocument(sfd. FileName, FileAccess.Write);

             var writer = XpsDocument.CreateXpsDocumentWriter(doc);

             writer. Write(c, new PrintTicket { PageMediaSize = new PageMediaSize(c.ActualWidth, c.ActualHeight) });

             doc. Close();

         }

     }

 } 

And here is the resulting XPS:
