Adobe Extension Manager For Mac

Adobe Extension Manager is a straightforward Mac OS X application that installs in your Application’s directory, and enables you to manage all extensions applicable to the following Adobe products: Dreamweaver CC, Flash Pro CC, Illustrator CC, InCopy CC, InDesign CC, Photoshop CC, Prelude CC, and Premiere Pro CC.

Like many other Adobe applications, Adobe Extension Manager comes with its own installer which reduces the process to simply following the on-screen instructions. Note that Adobe Extension Manager is able to process only ZXP extensions, and cannot handle the older MXP file format.

However, the Adobe Extension Manager CS6 version includes a conversion tool that enables you to quickly transform MXP extensions to ZXP files: simply navigate to the Tools menu and select the appropriate option.

On the Adobe Exchange website there is available a wide collection of plug-ins and extensions designed to broaden the capabilities of different Adobe utilities.

Start by downloading the ones you want to employ, and then use the Adobe Extension Manager app to install them on your system (double click on the ZXP file and the manager will be launched automatically).

Adobe Extension Manager includes support for enabling or disabling the extensions temporarily, but also offers you the possibility to completely remove the items from your system.

Since the Adobe Extension Manager application is sporting a stylish, yet simple design, finding your way around is quite intuitive: you can easily view the list of available extensions, check their status (enabled or disabled), or visualize details about their version and author.

For your convenience, Adobe Extension Manager also includes a minimalist search tools that can help you find a specific extension faster. If you are using at least one Adobe app and you want to extend its capability, installing the Adobe Extension Manager utility it's a necessity.
