How to open FrameMaker files on a Mac with OS X

applicationsfile conversion

I have some old FrameMaker documents on my Mac (Intel Core Duo, OS X 1.6.6). Is there any way to open this files (readonly would be ok)? I cannot use the FrameMaker 10 trial from Adobe, because it is windows only. There has been a reader/viewer app in the past but I cannot find it anywhere.

There are two file formats:

  • *.mif is Maker Interchange Format (an XML dialect)
  • *.fm is FrameMaker binary

Best Answer

Adobe provides an online pdf creator which they state handles FrameMaker files.

However, it costs $10 a month to use it, but it might be worth a shot. (Albeit, you may convert 5 files to pdfs before you have to pay).
