On Excel startup the following warning appears in light yellow just below the Menu bar.

X Add-in Problem Sorry, we couldn't find SaveAsAdobePDF.xlam. is it possible it was moved, renamed or deleted?

Click the X and it just goes away. But why does the warning come up? Can anyone help?

File with the name file-jpeg and an icon like the console icon (exec) Hello, my macbook pro 15" 2018 is overheating and crashes multiple times a day an I am searching for solutions. Here you are something that I see happening from some month. In the application bar I usually find an icon that seems to be the terminal/console icon with a green writing "exec" on the top left side of the icon (that is black) The filename is file-jpeg and only today I understhood that it is not a jpeg file but an executable file. I opened it with a text editor and I absolutly can't understand what it is. But due the fact that usually when I restart the Mac after it freezes or when it restarts from itself... due the fact that, after the login, I see a writing on thetop lef corner, near the apple logo, with the writing "Avanzamento Installazione" (installation progress), right now I thought that that file could be responsible of something that tries to be installed in the mac. Is there some way to receive help about that? Any idea?

This is not a Mac or macOS issue.

It's trying to load a document it previously had access to but now doesn't. Usually this occurs because the user set that file to auto load but that would be something you as the user set up. Or some user if not you.

I don't auto load anything so the best I can suggest is this:

Search the Excel settings for an autoload selection
Ask this in an Excel user forum.

Thanks for your suggestion. You are probably right.
