Ever since Adobe support 'fixed' my issue after loading Acrobat Pro on my new IMAC I have been getting this error when opening MS WORD - Run Time Error 53 - and this path - library/applications support/adobe/macpdfm/macpdfm.framework/Version/A/macpdfm - I spent three hours with adobe support yesterday and ended up getting disconnected on a char - I am hoping some on in the Adobe community can help me fix this issue - I am basically back where I started after loading acrobat pro on my IMAC - IMAC is on Mojave 10.14.5 - Acrobat Pro DC - Version 2015.006.30497 - hopefully someone can help - I was transferred over 8 times in Adobe support and the problem never got solved.

Hi There,
Apologies for the late reply, I hope you would be able to fix it by now, as described above you are getting the runtime error 53 whenever you open MS Word, so it’s the MS Word that is causing the issue. Are you also getting the runtime error whenever you try to open Adobe Acrobat Pro DC?
As you have mentioned in your post that Adobe Acrobat Pro DC freezes with this error, I do see that the application is not updated to the latest version. Adobe recommends updating the software’s to the latest version to get access to the latest features and functionalities. You may please follow the steps below:
If that doesn’t work,
If that doesn’t work,
I hope this will help, do let us know the results
Regards,
Amal

I have the SAME issue every time I open Word, now.
"run-time error 53 file not found /library/application Support/Adobe/Macpdfn/MacPDFM.framework/Versions/A/MacPDFM" - it happened right after Adobe Support "fixed" my issues with After Effects. WHY ARE THEY DELETING FILES NEEDED TO RUN OTHER APPLICATIONS?
I tried the links below and it didn't fix the problem.

I have been trying to resolve this problem for a while. After reading a few things online about possible causes, I started clicking around... I FINALLY found a solution that worked for me and I thought it may be helpful to share! Here is what I did:
1. Open the Word application
2. On the top of your Mac taskbar, click "Tools"
3. Click on "Templates and Add-ins..." at the bottom
4. Under Global Templates and Add-ins, I selected the item - I believe the name was "linkCreation.dotm"
5. Clicked the little (-) button to delete the item.
6. Restarted MS Word and the problem was resolved! 🙂
