How to convert a PDF from RGB to CYMK in Acrobat Pro DC? Looking on the internet there seems to be a Print Production tool?

Just be very careful how and what you convert. There is no single CMYK; there are multiple CMYK color spaces corresponding to different printing conditions. Unless you know and choose the correct one, you aren't doing anybody any favor.

You must also be careful to make sure that what you think in RGB black text doesn't convert to some rich black mixture of CMYK values that will print very poorly.
