[python-win32] printing to PDF

[Michael S]

Now that I resolved the PDF generation issue, I have another question.
I am trying to print numerous word documents to pdf, using the "Acrobat PDFWriter". 
I do it in the following way:
for i in range(1, 16):
            doc_file = "ish0%.2d.doc" % i
            pdf_file = "ish0%.2d.pdf" % i
            self.word_app.Documents.Open(self.dir_name+doc_file)
            self.word_app.Documents(self.dir_name+doc_file).PrintOut(Background=True,\
                                                    OutputFileName=pdf_file, PrintToFile=True)
            time.sleep(2)
            self.word_app.Documents(self.dir_name+doc_file).Close()

My problem is that I am prompted for a file name for every pdf file being printed, even though I supply one. Is there a way to avoid the File Save dialog popping up?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for you help.
The problem apparentely was in the parenthesis. I dropped the parenthesis from GetPDDoc and things started to work!

Early bound code is case sensitive, so have you checked that you've got your casings correct?

However neither late nor early can discover the AcroExch.AVdoc method I need and VB does it with no problem. 

By the way I can force early or late binding on the Excel.Application, but for some reason not on Acrobat classes.

 EnsureModule forces *early* binding

I ran the makepy -i from within PythonWin, to get those two lines I need to paste in into my script.
from win32com.client import gencache
gencache.EnsureModule .......

However when I run the script, I get an com_error saying that  dynamic.py couldn't find a certain method?
I thought that EnsureModule should force late binding.

Thanks a lot Justin. I tried running your code, for some reason it just hangs. I wonder why.

was experimenting with Acrobat months ago 

import win32com.client.dynamic

NOSAVE = -1
 PDSAVEFULL = 1

class Acrobat2pdfError(RuntimeError): pass

def Acrobat2pdf(src, dst):
   avdoc = win32com.client.dynamic.Dispatch("AcroExch.AVDoc ")

   if not avdoc.Open(src, "doc2pdf"): 
       raise Acrobat2pdfError("unable to open %s" % src)

   pddoc = avdoc.GetPDDoc()

   if not pddoc.Save(PDSAVEFULL, dst):
       raise Acrobat2pdfError("unable to save %s" % dst)  

   if not pddoc.Close():
       raise Acrobat2pdfError("unable to close %s" % dst)

   del pddoc

   if not avdoc.Close(NOSAVE):
       raise Acrobat2pdfError("unable to close %s" % src)  

   del avdoc

if __name__ == '__main__':
   import os
   src = r"C:\test\file1.doc"
   dst = r"C:\test\file2.pdf"
   Acrobat2pdf(src, dst)
   assert os.path.isfile(dst)
