[ARCHIVED] Making Wacom tablet work

[Zarquan314]

When I'm grading, I like to hand write notes on student papers using a Wacom drawing tablet.  Unfortunately, I can't do that using the free-draw tool, as it does not treat my drawing tablet like a mouse properly. 

Is there a way I can use my drawing tablet on the built in PDF editor?

So there does not appear to be an existing solution to this problem within the SpeedGrader?  I guess I should download the papers then.

@Zarquan314 - You're correct. Unfortunately, there's not a set of steps that would allow you to maximize the Wacom tablet with SpeedGrader. I hope that this support becomes available in the future.
