The 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/MacPDFM
You 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.
Adobe this problem has been occurring since at least as far back as 2016:

and is still happening in 2023:
