FrameMaker 2020 with Mif2Go - How to get it to work after upgrading FM?

I could not get Mif2Go to work with FrameMaker 2020. I was told too that it does not work. I am posting this message just to follow up.

It works with both 32 and 64 bit.

Are you using the 32 or 64 bit version of FM? I highly suspect that MIF2Go will only work with the 32 bit version.

I contacted Scott Prentice, and he pointed me to http://mif2go.com/support.html. I sent a message and have not yet heard back.

I went through the Mif2Go online help again. I then added the FrameMaker 2020 system variable under

Control Panel > System > Advanced System Settings > Environment Variables > System Variables

for example, added "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe FrameMaker 2020"

As per the help file, I copied the following files from %OMSYSHOME%\m2g\plugin to the FrameMaker 2020 fminit\plugins directory: m2rbook.dll and m2gframe.dll.

I ran the progid command again.

The result is the same when running a .bat command on files, and the message displayed in the command window is "Couldn't connect to Framemaker.M2G". (I have to run the .bat file multiple times to read the message that flashes for about one second.)

When I launch FM now, I see the following error messages for the m2gframe.dll file, plus the same for the m2rbook.dll file.

"Cannot initialize AP client c:\program files\adobe\adobe framemaker 2020\fminit\plugins\m2gframe.dll

Check for errors in the APIClients section of the maker.ini file...."

I do not see what is wrong in the maker.ini file.

So no joy so far.

Thanks to all who have responded.

It says Scott Prentice was doing something with it, maybe you can contact him.

I used Mif2Go a lot, and enjoyed working with Jeremy, but maybe some sort  of Frame script can help you?  There are people around who are experts on scripts.

CarolineTa, it semi-automates the process when you have multiple documents to generate from FrameMaker to PDF.

MIF2Go does some wonderful things, but what is the reason that you used it to create PDF files? 

This is something that Frame does out of the box very well.

The code is available on github. There's also a group.io group, but it's pretty moribund.

group.io: https://groups.io/g/omsys-dev/topics

I'm surprised the app site is still up, but what it says is plain:
Mif2Go works with Frame versions 6.0, 7.x, 8.x, 9.x, 10.x, and 11.x on Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, and 8. (For Frame 12 support download and install the beta m2rbook115.zip after completing the normal install.)

Win10 not listed, nor is anything beyond {maybe} FM12.

What's the use case for MIF2go? Whether any work-around might be possible would mainly depend on whether any work-around is really needed. FM's output rendering formats have advanced dramatically since FM6, including for PDF.

Since you can create PDFs directly out of FM, using Mif2Go for that output always seemed a bit superfluous to me. Have you explored the 3 routes of PDF creation inside FM? Save As PDF, Print to AdobePDF printer instance & the newest Publish to PDF?
