In the Features pane you can choose which features of Foxit Reader to install or not to install. I always disable the Auto Update feature, in non-persistent setups this is recommended.

How to install using an MSI transforms file

So, this it how it should look like, when you have all the needed components: You will need the MSI package, the XML Editor and the Foxit Customization Tool. The MSI package download will automatically prompt you to save the file, if not, go ahead and download it manually. Once past the image verification, you will get to the actual download site. In that case select ISO, it will have en MSI package that we can extract and use going forward. As mentioned, depending on your selected language, you may not be able to select the MSI package type, only EXE or ISO is available. Select the language needed, amount of users and make sure to select the MSI package type. Here you will need the Enterprise Packaging which is either an MSI or, depending on the language selected, an ISO with an MSI. Once logged in, go to the download section and click Free Software The account is needed to be able to get the Foxit Reader MSI installer, the XML Editor, the Foxit Customization Tool and the Group Policy administrative templates. Go to the Log In box and either log in, if you have an account or create a new account. To get started you will obviously need the Foxit Reader source files. With Foxit Reader you will, in my opinion, get a better performing and less bloated PDF Viewer, compared to Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and itвЂ™s just as easy, or maybe easier, to deploy and customize compared to Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. This guide I will show you how to install an alternative PDF Viewer from Foxit. My point of view is of course based on how the application behaves in a non-persistent and/or multi-user environment and general functionallity. Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, and versions before DC (11.x, 10.x, 9.x), has become bloated with features most users will never need, especially the online features are almost useless, at least from my point of view. However there are other PDF viewers out there, better viewers in my opinion. This guide is very detailed and if you are in need of performing an unattended deployment of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, this is probably the only guide you will need. A few weeks ago I came across blog post by Carl Webster on a guide on how to install Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
