2. You must have installed the "Akis" driver suitable for your operating system. You can download it from the drivers page of KamuSM.

After running the Acrobat Reade DC software, follow the steps below:

Select "Edit" in the top menu and then "Preferences ..."

You will need to restart Acrobat Reader DC.

When Acrobat Reader DC restarts, select 'Edit' in the Top menu and then 'Preferences ...' as in step 1.
