PowerPoint permissions error with AcrobatUtils.scpt on Mac Sequoia 15.x
I am running MacOs Sequoia 1.5x, Office 365 and Acrobat Pro, brand new installation. When opening any PowerPoint file, the error appears, 'Microsoft PowerPoint needs access to the file named "AcrobatUtils.scpt".'
Clicking "Select" leads to a Finder window that allows me to "Grant Access." This could repeat multiple times before the Acrobat tab finally appears in PowerPoint. This repeats every time I open an existing file or create a new file. This started becoming an issue with Sequoia 15.0 but is still present on 15.3.
I was able to work around this by creating a copy of the file AcrobatUtils.scpt, revising the permissions to include read access for all users, and replacing the file with my modified one (I could not find a way to modify the permissions in place on this file, perhaps I don't have sufficient admin permissions).
The permissions for this file show in Terminal as "rw-------" but I see similar permissions in the corresponding script for MS Word and MS Excel. Only PowerPoint seems to have this issue.
