Open FM2017 file in FM2015

A contractor sent me FM file created in FrameMaker 2017. I have FrameMaker 2015. I cannot open these files. We no longer work with this contractor, so I cannot ask him to save the files in an older version or as MIF.

    Stefan's suggestion is the most elegant. If you don't have a machine (or VM instance) on which to install a trial version of FM2019, you could also try heroic open on FM2015.

    One easy possibility is to download the 30-day free (and fully functional) trial of FrameMaker 2019 (here), open the FM 2017 files there and then just save as MIF and reopen the MIFs in FM 2015.
