Go to Acrobat > Preferences, or Acrobat Reader > Preferences.
Under Categories, select Signatures. In the Identities & Trusted Certificates section, click More.
In the Digital ID & Trusted Identities Settings window, select PKCS11# Modules and Tokens, and then click Attach Module.
Enter the correct library path, and then click OK.
Select e-Token PKCS#11, and then click Login. Enter your e-Token password when prompted. Your e-Token is now reinstalled and the new module is attached.
