3. First turn on your projector, then your computer.
4. Go to the Apple Menu or the dock and select System Preferences
5. Click on displays under Hardware (monitor icon)
6. On the Display tab, select the resolution to be 1024X624
7. Now select the Arrangement tab, and make sure Mirror Displays is selected
8. Now on the projector, move the ring around the lens until the image fits the SMARTBoard fully. Also adjust the focus ring that is also around the lens to have a clearer image.

Using the SMARTBoard software you have installed:

1. Go to the Macintosh hard drive
2. Open the Applications folder
3. Click on the SMARTBoard software folder
4. And double click the SMARTBoardService to start the application
5. Open up System Preferences again
6. Click on Ink under the Hardware section

8. Now browse to the SMARTBoard software folder again
9. Open SMART Tools and SMART Notebook by double-clicking the icons on the screen and minimize them to the dock
10. The SMARTBoard must be calibrated to match the computer it’s being used with. To calibrate, push both (black) buttons on the SMARTBoard tray (the keyboard and mouse buttons) at the same time.
11. On the SMARTBoard, there will be a X. To calibrate, press each X in the center with a SMARTBoard pen. If the SMARTBoard does not seem calibrated right, repeat the process (steps 10,11)
12. The SMARTBoard should be ready to use

Q: I need to sign PDF documents with my USB Smart Card. Can I do that using PDF Studio on my Mac system?

A: Yes, you can. Starting in PDF Studio 11.0.4, we allow users to sign a document using their USB Smart Card. You can see the setup below as a reference.

In this example, we used Safenet eToken 5100 on MacOS Sierra, different devices might have different setup.

1. Plug the USB Smart Card/Token into your computer

2. Install the SafeNet Authentication Clientsoftware. You can click HERE for other versions.

3. Go to /usr/local/lib and verify that “libeTPkcs11.dylib” is located in the directory

4. Using any text editor, create a configuration file (see below example), and save it with the name “config.cfg” or you can download fromHERE:

Note:

if you’re using “sourceforge smartcard service” for MAC, you will need to install the opensource package ‘OpenSC’ for mac and configure your “config.cfg” with “library =/Library/OpenSC/lib/opensc-pkcs11.so”

5. Open PDF Studio, go to Preferences -> Digital IDs.

6. Click “Browse” button under “Additional IDs” section

7. Click browse and select the “config.cfg” which we created in step 4.

8. You will be prompted to enter the password for your token.

Note: Due to a bug on Mac the dialog will appear behind the PDF Studio window. Move the PDF Studio dialogs to the side to enter your password.

Smart For Usb Mac Windows 10

From now on, the signature ID on your smart card should displays on the signature list and allow you to sign the document.
