Adobe FrameMaker interchange format

File type category:
Graphics file

Date updated: October 7, 2026

Maker Interchange Format (MIF) is an ASCII-based format developed for Adobe FrameMaker. A MIF file consists of statements that describe the text, graphics, formatting, and layout constructs that FrameMaker supports. Because it is a text representation of a FrameMaker document, it can be parsed and exchanged more easily than the program's native document representation.

MIF is an alternative representation of a FrameMaker document. It is intended to preserve document content, graphics, and formatting when information is transferred between FrameMaker products and other applications. Adobe FrameMaker for Microsoft Windows can open and work with MIF files, and the format remains part of FrameMaker's interchange workflow.

In workflows using The Graphics Connection, a MIF file generated from a PostScript file can contain either one page or an anchored frame. The generator creates an equivalent MIF object for each object parsed from the PostScript file. With the anchored-frame option, the resulting MIF file can be inserted at a chosen position in a FrameMaker document's text flow.

Reported MIME types for MIF include:
application/vnd.mif
application/x-framemaker
application/x-maker
application/x-mif

How to open mif file?

Open the .mif file in Adobe FrameMaker on Microsoft Windows. FrameMaker can interpret the MIF statements and reconstruct the represented document.

If the file was generated as an anchored frame, it can be inserted at the required position in the FrameMaker document's text flow.

How to convert mif file?

Adobe FrameMaker can open a MIF file and save the resulting document in one of FrameMaker's regular document formats. It can also save a FrameMaker document as MIF when a text-based interchange representation is required.

mAirList inline data

File type category:
Document file

Date updated: August 6, 2019

The mif file extension is associated with the mAirList a radio automation system for Microsoft Windows.

Inline Files are much like MMD files. They contain an XML structure with the meta data of a single audio file. However, the audio file itself is embedded into the XML, so you only have one big XML (.mif) file instead of one audio file and one MMD file.

Inline Files allow audio files to be stored in mAirListDB without the need for an "external" storage medium, such as a shared network drive. All data is kept within the SQL database.
