Hi,
I'm new to framemaker, taking over froma colleague who left the company.
We have existing documentation stored in GIT and I don't seem to be able to open it, anybody using GIt with framemaker ? How do you acces your doc?
Thanks.

I've never used GIT, so am shooting in the dark here.
What is the failure presentation? (i.e. dialogs or error messages)
Can you pull an instance of a document, as *.fm, and open it locally?
Does your FM platform (presumably Windows) have a GIT client that makes the GIT appears as a virtual file system?
FM has integration for a variety of CMS servers, but GIT doesn't appear to be one of them.

After I had time to play with it, I discovered that my predecessor had a local copy he publishes to. I copied his Got repo into my machine and I wsa finally able to open the book on FM.
I'm trying to add minor updates to see if I can publish them but no success so far. I get error messages that the file is open or beig used but I'm the only person manipulating this file, any idea what this could be ?

Hi,
Can you describe in more detail, what you exactly do?
What is your FrameMaker version (exact numbers from the Help/About menu)?
How do you try to print something? Save As PDF? Print to a local printer? Print to a PostScript file?
Are there native FrameMaker *.FM files on GIT? Do you open these? Any messages, while you open the files?
Best regards, Winfried

Hi,
I'm using - Version: 17.0.3.546
When publishing, I used Publish as Responsive HTML 5
The file I use is .book, I only have one. When I open it I select the option to edit it.

Check to see if you have any .lck files in use?

I can see 2 .lck - closing and retrying again

Close the Framemaker book and all fm files and delete all *.lck files
When you open the FrameMaker book again, try enabliing all tool bars and clik this icon a couple of times. It locks/unlocks files for editing. If the file is locked, you can open it, but not edit it.

My understanding is that GIT is a code repository. Are you saying that you have .fm files stored in GIT?
