@BiggestP sorry to hear. I know I send PDFs to my commercial printers and they have no issues when they need to have CMYK plates. If you want, you could use Distiller. If you're printing separations from InDesign or Illustrator, try exporting the file as a PostScript file (.ps) and then using a separate PostScript interpreter to create the separations such as Distiller to make your PDF. Old school way. Or try reverting to an older version of Acrobat where separations printing worked correctly. This might involve uninstalling the current version and installing a previous one (if you have access to the installer) or using a system restore point (if available).
