Maybe I'm missing something simple here, but I cannot find Color Management in my Preferences. Everything I'm reading on the 'net suggests that Acrobat has Color Management settings but I sure can't find them. I simply want to print my PDF file using the ICC file I've built for my printer. Can I do that with Acrobat Reader DC??

In Acrobat's preferences look for the Color Management category.

Thanks for your reply, but my complaint is exactly that there is NO Color Management category in my Acrobat Reader DC preferences. Here's a screen shot:

Are you asking about Acrobat ("net suggests that Acrobat has Color Management setting") or Acrobat Reader?

I am asking about "Adobe Acrobat Reader DC"

I don't have that here to test, but it certainly has less features than the paid-for product. Nevertheless, the Color Management preferences aren't used to set a printer profile. Do you have an Advanced button in your Print dialog?

Yes:
The default for Acrobat Reader seems to be "Printer manages color". But this is NOT what I want. Even if I uncheck the "Let Printer Determine Color" there is no option here to specify the printer profile I want to use. Other Adobe color managed apps allow you to specify the specific printer profile to use (e.g. Photoshop) when the app is managing color. I'm just amazed that Acrobat Reader does not seem to provide this capability.

Acrobat Pro has the option you want. Acrobat Reader does not. Sounds kind of a Professional need.
