Hi @Cupita,

 

Hope you are doing well. Sorry for the trouble. 

 

We are looking into this. 

Would you mind sharing a screen recording of the event for a better understanding and assistance?

Also, the Acrobat App Version, and the MacOS version of your device.

I have this same error - it is just a box that pops up when I open MS Word for Mac (Office Home & Student 2021), on my Macbook Air running Sequoia 15.2. I have to click on "End" or the red close button at the top left of the popup to get it to close and be able to move forward using Word.
