Both work. Why on Earth does the MS installer do this to us??
Run-Time Error 53
Every time I open MS Word, I get a Run-Time Error 53 message. It says:
File not found: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/MACPDFM/MacPDFM.framework/Versions/A/MacPDFM
How do I fix this?

2024-09-19T17:19:31.32+00:00 I continue to have this same issue in Word for Mac. I have followed the directions, and yet every time I remove linkcreation.dotm from the folder in my library, then re-start Word, I get the error again and linkcreation.dotm shows as selected in the Tools menu (see images). And yet there is no such file in my library - it's been deleted, I've emptied the trash, etc.
Here you can see I've unchecked linkcreation.dotm in Templates and Add-ins:
I guess I can only add one image per post? I have images of the empty Word folder under the Libraries tree, and the same Templates and Add-Ins window showing linkcreation.dotm selected again after restarting Word.

2024-09-27T09:44:31.9466667+00:00 I had the same issues for many years on my MAC. The solution that frequently worked was to uncheck the linkCreation in word and delete the file:
~/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/User Content/Startup/Word/linkCreation.dotm
However, this morning this solution did not work anymore. I finally discover that the location of the file was changed and appeard in the following path:
/Library/Application\ Support/Microsoft/Office365/User\ Content.localized/Startup/Word/
Probably due to the fact that I used Office365 one some days ago.
Deleting the linkCreation.dotm in the Word folder and the SaveAsAdobePDF.ppam located in the Powerpoint folder solved the issues with Runtime 53 Error
