EndNote 8 crashes on Sierra (10.12.4)

Hello all,

I am sorry to only repeat the problems that other users also seem to have: I am a Mac User, have the newest version of Endnote X8, updated on Sierra 10.12.6, word 2016. 

Endnote crashes and freezes when I try to open attached pdfs or just even a reference, I can’t even work for 2 mins, have to force Endnote to shut down. Word is not even open, I just want to use the library for the moment. 

What I did: 1) Updated everything (Endnote and Sierra) 2) put the library from desktop to home directory 3) reinstalled Endnote.

Any other ideas?

I am grateful for help.
