Adobe is aware of the issue and has issued a fix. It's due to running the 64-bit version of Office with this 32-bit add-in. Download the patch here: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/release-note/acrobat-dc-august-02-2016.html
Just substitute your user name for ComputerName and UBF8T346G9.Office for "******(ID# assigned during install).Office", then insert User Content before Startup/Word. So the complete path will be Users/YourUserName/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/User Content/Startup/Word, though apparently some installations append .localized to some folder names.
Once I hove the .dotm file can I delete it - will it affect how Acrobat DC works
If it solves the problem, you can delete the file. Try updating your copy of Acrobat, there should be a newer version that fixes this issue.
