HELP!! Raise without a handler error! Reader 9, Mac WTF!??

Yikes! I've just finished weeks of work on my project, using Acrobat Pro 9, just tested it in Reader 9 (Mac), and it crashes on page 5 with this error:
There was a RAISE without a handler. The application will now exit.
The page that brings this up, and all similar pages that I've tested (several out of 50+), includes buttons, links, hidden fields, and a .swf file. All work perfectly in Acrobat, and earlier tests have worked fine in Reader, and when opened from online in Safari.
Now, on the eve of the project deadline (of course), I can't get any of my versions past this error, including the local files and an uploaded sample viewed in Safari (3.1.2).
I googled the error and find nothing recent except an unresolved thread here, from 2007, that mentions Pitstop; I don't have, and have NEVER had, Pitstop.
PRAYING somebody has some clue
Thanks!

Try downloading and installing AppleJack instead, which only works in single user Mode (Cloverleaf-Apple key) after a restart. Follow all steps in order. Two items 3 and 4 you do for system the you be asked if you want to check individual user in those case you type
Y and hit return/enter. Then you type the user directory and its run again. That way you clean caches files for system and user. Then preference files that are bad. the last is to dump memory cache files that are written to Hard drive to speed up Code access.

Raise without a handler error

Running Adobe Acrobat 8.12 Professional. Whenever I attempt to use the text edit tools or the redact tools, I receive an error message stating that "There was a RAISE without a handler. The application will now exit." The only posts I've seen on this issue involve the program 'Pitstop," which is is not on my computer. I've uninstalled, repaired permissions, and re-installed, with no success. It's running on a 15" MacBookPro running Leopard. Thank you.

you're in the wrong forum.

There was a RAISE without a handler. - Adobe Reader 9 Mac PPC 10.4.11

Hi, just recently everyone has been getting this error at my place of work. After searching around this seems to be a pretty rare problem with not many solutions. Everyone is running Adobe Reader 9 and is accessing these files from a share on a server. The odd thing is if I access the server and copy the pdf from the server to a mac it works fine when its on the actual machine, but opening it from the share gives this error "There was a RAISE without a handler. The application will now exit."
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I am not sure, but I got the same error on my macbook pro with Mac OS X 10.5.8 and Acrobat 9.2 (CS4). I never had any problems before until I tried to install the suggested update to version 9.3.0 with Adobe Updater. The Update didnt finish the installation and since then I have this error message.
I must say that I lately updated/installed the free utility "PDF Browser Plugin v.2.2.3" from Schubert IT which brings full Acrobat functionality to Safari. Acrobat 9.2. and PDF Browser Plugin were running without any problem before I tried to run the update. (I am not sure if the PDF Browser Plugin was running on my MacBook Pro System before - but I didn't experience any problems with the Plugin and Acrobat Pro on several other Macs at work)
But now I am not sure if the Browser Plugin has brought up the Updater to fail - especially because it is just a Plugin for browsers located /library/Internet Plug-ins)
I now try to fix this issue and let you know if I was successfull. I was just thinking, if you maybe also have this plugin installed. It runs in the background and is normaly not buggy, and that why most users don't even recognize wheter its installed or not...

I have heard these called AutoSuggest or AutoComplete. If you Google
it you'll find a few.built in Flex. I understand they have varying
quality.
The www.flextras.com AutoCompleteComboBox will have one coming out

There was a RAISE without a handler. The application will now exit/

Can someone help me figure this out, I can open Acrobat and run it for about 5 seconds, then this message pops up "There was a RAISE without a handler. The application will now exit." and Acrobat Pro closes.
I am running Mac OSX 10.5.8 and Acrobat Pro 9.3.3. I have tried going back to a previous version of Acrobat but I get the same error. I am using Firefox, someone suggested it is a Safari thing, but I have never used Safari, not sure why it would be associated anyway, but trying to give as much info as I can.
Help please?

I'm having the same issue. Again, unfortunately. And of course you will find through various searches that it is a reoccurring issue, one that Adobe seems to have failed to acknowledge.
You can delete your preference files. Same thing. RAISE blah blah crash.
You can even go and do a restore from an uncorrupted backup from over 4 months ago, and yet it still doesn't solve the problem, thus there is a compatibility issue.
The program is battling with another program (of which there really is no telling) and therefore crashing the moment you open it. The software itself is clean and uncorrupted, yet somewhere deep within OSX there is a problem that won't allow the software to open.
The only temporary solution i've found to solve the problem is a clean adobe install. Just delete and uninstall all and any traces of Adobe Acrobat, then reinstall to find a working adobe product. For a small while, at least.
I've never tried creating a new account, but from what others say it works. Not worth my time though.
If anyone was wondering I have zero third party plugins. Its straight from Adobe CS4. Pro version.
Someone above mentioned using the drop down menu in acrobat to reset the software. I can't even do that! The "RAISE" window pops up before that actual software! Its ridiculous!
Its really quite peeving to know that this issue has been around for years and Adobe seems to just ignore it. I know I don't want to pay for a company that fails to meet their customers needs. This is your problem Adobe, not ours to deal with. Fix It.

There was a raise without a handler

I'm using Acrobat Pro 9.3.1 on a Macbook Pro OS X 10.6.7. Every time I click the Comments menu or the Help menu, I get this error: "There was a RAISE without a handler. The application will now exit." Despite my best efforts to find a solution online, I'm coming up empty. Any ideas?

This seems most often to be related to corrupted cache or preference files.
Here are a couple previous threads which discuss the problem:

Every time I download a PDF I get a message that says There was a RAISE without a handler. The application will now close. What does this mean?

I work on a Power Mac G5 running OSX 10.5.8.
We recently had to upgrade Java.
Now every time I download a PDF I get the message "There was a RAISE without a handler. The application will now close."
I downloads the PDF OK, but then Safari closes and I have to start it back up to get to my email.
What is the message telling me? It did not do this before we upgraded Java.

RAISE without a handler ... ??

The person in front of me pushed their seat back and crushed the hard drive of my laptop. I had it replaced and restored it with time machine, but now Adobe Acrobat delivers the following message, and then quits: "There was a RAISE without a handler. The application will now exit."

I take it you mean just use the installer disk, and one of the menu options is to repair Acrobat? I'll look for it now.

Help:My Wiki pane show error reading setting.

Can I fix this problem? Thank you.

I did find everything about this thouble in Apple Community but there is not in my case.

Solved! At least for me...

Install Error - Reader with Mac OS 10.6.2

Hi, I have Mac OS 10.6.2
I downloaded the Reader 9 package. When I go to install, the installer gives me this error message:
The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.installer.pagecontroller error -1.)*
Couldn't open "AdbeRdr930en_USi386.pkg".
I am new to Mac, can anyone tell me how to fix this please?
Thanks

If this is the first time you've tried to open a pkg installer, then I suggest reinstalling Snow Leopard. That will leave all of your data and settings in place, but put down a clean OS. Then, run Software Update, install the items shown, repair permissions, and download a new Adobe Reader installer. If you were able to install other packages without trouble, then delete the Adobe Reader one and download another.

PC FORMATTED iPod read by MAC & PC? MAC formatted iPod read only by MAC?

Is this how the formatting issue works? I'm looking to buy an iPod for a friend who (I think) has PC.....
Since I'm a mac person, I want to buy the gift, load some music on, and ship it off to the lucky recipient....but if they have a PC , will it be recongnized once it's plugged in?
Any info would be helpful.
Thanks.

Yes, that is how it works.

Okay, unless you restore your iPod while you're on the Mac, I believe it will still be formatted for a PC.
(You will not need to restore the iPod for transferring music to it on a Mac unless you want to upgrade the iPod's firmware on a Mac computer, then it will have to be Mac-formatted).
You see, when you recieve an iPod, it is shipped to you as a Windows-formatted iPod, probably since the majority of the population has PCs, and also, PC-formatted iPods are compatible for music transfer for a Mac also.
Does that make sense?

Raise without Handler error when printing pdf files in Outlook

At work sometimes I'm asked to print emails with tons of attachments, but when I attempt to print the email with the attachments through outlook, anytime there is a PDF attached, I get the "Raise without Handler!" error and also the following window:
The only way I'm able to print the PDF file is by opening the file directly and then printing it from the actual Acrobat program. At work we use Acrobat 7.0 Professional.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as it's pretty time consuming when I'm printing an email with 20+ PDF attachments.

Hi Hisami,
Hope you are well.
Latest adobe & chrome versions. IE is an older version.
OS Windows home premium 7
Adobe Reader X1
Does adobe have chat?
Bit of background:
I have a monthly subscribtion with adope create and everything was working fine. Then I downloaded a free trial of I think acrobat so I could edit pdf and around the time I got a redirect virus on google chrome. So I deleted all adobe and used Norton power cleaner.
Then tried download (reinstall) adobe create. Now I can't open any of my many pdf files. Just get 'Raise without handler".
Thanks for looking into this,
Andrew

PC Error: Raise without Handler!

I have a PC, Windows 7. I cannot open PDFs at all and receive the error message of "Raise without Handler!" I have uninstalled/reinstalled Acrobat and Reader. I have used the Clearner tool. I have also been on the phone with our company's IT support team for 2 days. No one knows how to fix this! Everyone says this is a MAC issue but I have a PC. Please help!!!!!

I have never seen this message on Windows before. But it could be just another form of Adobe Reader malfunctioning and closing, in which case I usually start with these three suggestions
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html
