Hi Scott,
Yes, that's what we've also tried (ie: Color Handling:
AcrobatColorManagement -> ColorProfile: [custom printer profile]) except
it's the Printer setup side where there's a bit of disagreement. If the
ColorSync option is enabled in the printer it auto-loads the appropriate
printer/paper profile. I would think that would apply double profiling.
The other printer option (other than ColorSync) is Epson Color Controls
which offers the option to turn OFF CM, as is done automatically when
printing from Photoshop and Lightroom when they manage the color. I
would have thought the printer would need to have CM set to OFF if the
driver has been selected in Acrobat.
Should it not be one or the other (Acrobat or Printer), but not both
managing the color?

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.

Hi Russell,
Printing from Acrobat—you like to live dangerously. Because the source profile is
not selectable here I assume that this is the default space given in the global
color settings (Preferences: Color Management: Working spaces). The Acrobat print
dialog gives no choice of rendering intent, so it might be better to do the
transform in the Convert Colors tool (Print Production). Then print the converted
document using the print dialog with no color management active "(Same as
source”). There may be other twists to this that someone else may be able to comment
on.
Good luck.

Could someone please confirm if the following settings are appropriate
when printing a photo using Acrobat and wish to have color management
done either by the printer (an Epson 7000) or by Acrobat?
*CM Managed by Printer:*
In Acrobat -> Color Management -> Color Handling = Printer Color Management
In the Apple printer settings -> ColorSync ON (set to Automatic or
manually select profile from list)
*CM Managed byAcrobat:*
In Acrobat -> Color Management -> Color Handling = Acrobat Color Management
??? The appropriate Color Profile is then selected via the pull-down list
In the Apple printer settings -> Epson Color Controls is selected and on
the Print page the Color Mode is set to "OFF (No color management)"
It's my understanding that when Acrobat Color Management is enabled then
turning ColorSync on as well will produce double profiling. Is this correct?
Someone has suggested that using ColorSync -> Automatic will
automatically set Color Mode to "OFF (No color management)" if Acrobat
Color Management is used. I'm not sure if that is correct.
Thanks to anyone who knows and has time to respond :-)
