Sending files to OneNote from Python

Question

Is it possible to send a file to Microsoft OneNote from Python? (Maybe using its COM object?) I don't need to store it in a specific notebook or page, I just want OneNote to pop-up a window where I can choose the destination.

Well, ish. I had seen that page. I think there are tiny mistakes in their code but it gives you some ideas. – Milad Mar 28 '13 at 17:04

This code sends a PDF file to the OneNote printer.

import win32print
import subprocess
import time
pdf_file  = 'D:\d1\d1.pdf'
acrobat = 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\AcroRd32.exe'
name = win32print.GetDefaultPrinter()
cmd = '"{}" /n /h /s /o  /t "{}" "{}"'.format(acrobat, pdf_file, name)
proc = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
