Adobe this problem has been occurring since at least as far back as 2016:
and is still happening in 2023:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1180344/fix-visual-basic-application-errorThe problem seems fairly straightforward:
- Every time Adobe Acrobat Pro 2020 gets updated, it installs an add-in to MS Word (linkCreation.dotm) and Powerpoint (SaveAsAdobePDF.ppam)
- This addin fails to find a missing file: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/MACPDFM/MacPDFM.framework/Versions/A/MacPDFMYou need to stop installing add-ins to other apps without asking user permission, this should be an opt-in feature when installing.
You need to either fix the PDF add-ins, or discontinue them.

November 7, 2024: Still happening.
Earlier this year, it appears Adobe modified the location of the offending Office plugins, instead of installing within the user's ~/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/User Content.localized/Startup.localized/ folder, they are now installed system-wide in: /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office365/User Content.localized/Startup
