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

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?

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