Adobe Customization Wizard 8

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)

Adobe Customization Wizard 8 works with the Adobe Acrobat 8 family:
- Adobe Acrobat 3D Version 8
- Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional

(An update to Customization Wizard 8 will add support for Acrobat 8 Elements when it becomes available in mid-2007.)
