    Hi @Miranda Lansell

    This is an caused by incompatible Adobe Add-in.

    I suggest you go to Tools > Templates and Add-ins... > check whether there are saveasadobepdf and linkCreation.dotm. If so, please delete them.

    Then please close Excel, and then delete "linkCreation.dotm" from ~/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/User Content/Startup/Excel/. (Please note, to get hidden files, in Finder press Shift+Command+L to take you to the library folder, then drill into the folders.)
