• SmartShelter PDF does not display in Adobe Reader URL copied to clipboard
  According to the CmDust.log file the plug-In should locate in the directory:
  C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\plug_ins\SmartShelter
  It should therefore be installed correctly.
  
  If the menu entry "Help | About third-party Plug-Ins | SmartShelter PDF" is not displayed in Adobe Reader, please check that your Adobe Reader installation only loads "certified" add-on modules. You can do this
  check via the "Edit | Default settings" menu item. In the "Program start" section activate "Use only certified plug-ins" and restart Adobe Reader.

• SmartShelterPlugIn didn't work, no access to the local CodeMeter Server. URL copied to clipboard
  If we can not find any accesses to the local CodeMeter License in the CodeMeter Control Center (Events window) from the SmartShelter PlugIn, then the Smash PlugIn is may be blocked by the Acrobat reader via the Sandbox modus.
  If the Sandbox Modus is active ( Edit - Preferences - Security (Enhandced)) then the PlugIn is not able to interact with the local CodeMeter Runtime Server, please do the following:
  
  --
  
  - Select "Edit > Preferences" (Windows) or Acrobat/Adobe Reader > "Preferences" (Mac OS).
  - From the Categories on the left, select "Security (Enhanced)".
