RAISE without a handler; WTF?!? REader 9, Mac

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 unresolved threads here, from 2007 and 08, that mention Pitstop; I don't have, and have NEVER had, Pitstop.
PRAYING somebody has some clue
Thanks!

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
within the next two weeks.  We'll be giving an on-line demo of it this

    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.

  • 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...

  • 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.

    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. 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?

  • 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.

  • 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

    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:

  • 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

  • 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

  • Raise Without Handler

    I was having trouble printing the latest iPad user manual (pages 16 and 35 wouldn't print correctly although the other 126 were ok), so I downloaded the latest Reader. It corrupted my home screen and I couldn't open anything. Every time I tried to open something, I would get the error message "Raise Without Handler" whatever that means. Can anybody help?

    My home screen is the first screen I see when I switch my laptop on. You know, a favourite photo in the background and all your shortcuts spread around the edges.
    When I download Adobe Reader all my shortcuts change to the Adobe Reader logo in just white, leaving the name of the shortcut below, Google, Facebook etc.
    When I double-click on any of these I just get an error message "Raise Without Handler".

  • Adobe Reader 9/Mac OSX 10.5.4/Internal Error after installing

    Just purchased a new iMac with OSX 10.5.4 installed. I have 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. Acrobat Reader v8.x won't run, so downloaded and installed v9 from the official Adobe web site. When I attempt to launch Acrobat Reader 9 I get the message "An internal error has occurred." I cannot go any further or do anything else. I've downloaded Reader 9 several times but the same problem keeps happening. I also purchased a new MacBook and Reader 9 installs and runs on that machine without any problems. Anyone have any idea why this might be happening on my iMac? Without Acrobat Reader it can really be a drag trying to work with PDF's.

     I was wrong on both counts. With the help of the local Apple store, I found a solution. First, I Moved to Trash all adobe related files/folders from /Users/*myaccount*/Library/Cache and /Users/*myaccount*/Library/Preferences. When I started "Adobe Reader 9", I at least got the license agreement but again it failed with an "internal error". I then moved the /Users/*myaccount*/Library/Application Support/Adobe folder to my desktop. I was then able to start "Adobe Reader 9" successfully.
    I was having the "Internal Error" message on all my repeated installs of Reader in Mac OS 10.6 ("Snow Leopard") and this fixed it for me. The only thing I did different, was after the app finally launched without an error, I dragged all the non-Acrobat Reader folders inside of /Users/*myaccount*/Library/Application Support/Adobe back to the folder. I then re-launched Reader just to check and all was fine.
    Thanks! This fixed my Adobe Reader on Snow Leopard problem.
