Issue with Opening Print Dialog in Adobe Acrobat Automation

encountering a problem while automating PDF form filling and attempting to open the print dialog in Adobe Acrobat using Python. Despite ensuring the correct installation of Adobe Acrobat and validating the code, we encountered difficulties accessing the PrintWithDialog method.

 

However, unable to resolve the issue with the PrintWithDialog method and encountered an AttributeError when attempting to access it.

    Also, if you are calling GetActiveDoc and PrintWithDialog, that is completely wrong. You are using methods from two entirely different APIs.

      Which flavour of Acrobat is installed?

      Acrobat Reader, Acrobat Standard, Acrobat Pro? 

      Acrobat DC, 2020, 2017, 2015, ...?

      Do other API methods work ok?

      Does it work if used from VB?

        Using python to make a script that fills fields and opens adobe acrobat + opens print dialog, well it does everything except opening print dialog, with error:

        Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python39\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 1892, in __call__ return self.func(*args) File "C:\Users\user\Desktop\e.py", line 63, in fill_pdf acrobat_avdoc.PrintWithDialog() File "C:\Python39\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 638, in __getattr__ raise AttributeError("%s.%s" % (self._username_, attr)) AttributeError: GetActiveDoc.PrintWithDialog

        is PrintWithDialog the correct with to ask adobe to prompt print dialog instead of auto print page

        Looks like a issue with the attributes.
