Adobe Customization Wizard 8 is a free downloadable utility designed to help IT professionals take greater control of enterprise-wide deployments of Adobe Acrobat 8 and Adobe Reader 8.

With it you can customize the Acrobat installer and application features prior to deployment. Providing a graphical interface to the Windows Installer for Acrobat, the Customization Wizard enables IT administrators to:
· Modify the installer via a Transform File (or MST file) without altering the original package (MSI file)
· Customize the look and feel of Acrobat or Reader before deployment to meet the unique needs of your user base.

Adobe Customization Wizard 8 works with the Adobe Acrobat 8 family:
· Adobe Acrobat 3D Version 8
· Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
· Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard
· Adobe Acrobat 8 Elements
· Adobe Reader 8
(An update to Customization Wizard 8 will add support for Acrobat 8 Elements when it becomes available in mid-2007.)

Key benefits:
· Save time and reduce the amount of editing needed to customize the Installer.
· Take advantage of a more intuitive user interface to customize the Installer.
· Manage and control the enterprise environment.
