Run-time error '53' in MS Word and Powerpoint

The Run-time '53' error message resurfaced on my Mac when opening new Word and Powerpoint files.

I found this procedure from Dartmouth University that fixed this incompatibility with Adobe PDFMaker and MS Word and Powerpoint - a clear and effective fix for this problem:

Run-time error ’53’: File not found: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/MACPDFM/MacPDFM.framework/Versions/A/MacPDFM I was able to fix the Run-time error ’53’: File not found: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/MACPDFM/MacPDFM.framework/Versions/A/MacPDFM for all my Microsoft Apps by uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Acrobat Professional and Microsoft Office for Mac as shown with the following error message below when trying to open up a Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel document. This occurs through an incompatible Adobe Add-on. I was able to fix this problem by completely removing Adobe Acrobat Professional and Microsoft Office for Mac. Instructions for completely removing Adobe Acrobat Professional from your computer at: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/uninstall-office-for-mac-eefa1199-5b58-43af-8a3d-b73dc1a8cae3 Instructions for completely removing Microsoft Office for Mac from your computer at: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/uninstall-office-for-mac-eefa1199-5b58-43af-8a3d-b73dc1a8cae3 I then deleted all the junk from the trash. Afterward, I first reinstalled Adobe Acrobat Professional and afterward installed Microsoft Office for Mac and the problem disappeared. If you run into problems you could try Uninstaller PRO 11 since it opened up on my computer when trying to delete my Adobe Acrobat Professional. Good Luck. I hope this helps.

Run Time error 32815 application-defined or object-defined error I am running Microsoft Word 16.63.1 on a MAC OS Catalina 10.15.7. Every time I open word (docx or xlsx) I get a 32815 run time error. How can I correct this without hitting END END END every time I work on a document? I recently installed Adobe Creative Cloud. I subsequently updated my OS and then Microsoft Office (WORD).
