Hey Russell. If a PDF is generated properly, each element within it will
contain profiles. So you can have greyscale, RGB and CMYK elements all within a
PDF - this is why you can’t select a source space for the whole thing. As for
printing,
File>Print>Advanced>ColorManagement
Color Handling: AcrobatColorManagement
ColorProfile: [custom printer profile]
…has always been pretty solid for me, although there can be some surprises with
complicated PDFs containing transparency and such. It’s a rare choice to make
critical prints from Acrobat. In many situations, it can be nice to ”RIP" a
PDF by opening it in Photoshop and inspect before printing. In either case you
needn’t worry about Apple’s 'Color Matching’ settings as Epson's driver does
indeed go into a no color management mode as it does when printing from
Photoshop, for example, with application managed colors. Your results may vary
with other drivers of course.
