Simulating output icc profiles on an rgb monitor

I have a customer who is trying to achieve a color workflow. Their output is dramatically different than how it appears on their RGB monitors. The monitors are graphics quality, have been calibrated using a spectrophotometer, and the output device is a Fiery controller. They are making adjustments to photographs on RGB monitors so that the photos look good on the monitors, but then are oversaturated when printing. I want to make their monitors simulate the CMYK output ICC profile of the Fiery, and I have that ICC profile. How do I do that in an Adobe product?

Is this about Adobe Acrobat and PDF, or are you using Adobe Photoshop or other applications besides Acrobat?

Thanks for the response, yes the customer is using other apps, Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign to produce the PDFs. But by the time I get to them the PDFs are already created, and I am having a difficult time convincing the customer that their production workflow is what is causing the images in the PDFs to be oversaturated on output, even though they are acceptable on their monitors.

I just wanted to make sure we are talking about the correct tool. In Adobe Acrobat, you can use the "Output Preview" tool to find out what the printed output will look like. Take a look at this page, it should explain the steps necessary: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/previewing-output-acrobat-pro.html - the simulation profile would be your Fiery ICC profile.
