How to fix Run-time error "53" when using PowerPoint for Mac

Question

When I open a PowerPoint for Mac file I get an error that says:

Run-time error '53':

File not found: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/MACPDFM/MacPDFM. framework/Versions/A/MacPDFM

Answer 1

Hi,

Based on the error, the problem is related to the Adobe SaveAsAdobePDF.ppam add-in.

Try this method:

Navigate to Group Containers > UBF8T346G9.Office > User Content >Startup > PowerPoint. Drag the Acrobat add-in file SaveAsAdobePDF.ppam to the trash. Restart PowerPoint to test that the crash is gone by opening a new blank document and repeating the steps that led to the initial problem appearing.
