Solution 1

  1. Start by closing Word.
  2. To open your hidden user Library folder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu and choosing Library. The folder will open.
  3. Open ~/Library/Group Containers/UB48T346G9.Office/User Content.localized/Startup.localized/Word. Please note that the User Content and Startup folders will not always have .localized appended to the name when you view them in the Finder.
  4. Drag the Acrobat add-in file to your desktop, then restart Word to test that the crash is gone.
