I have been asked by Adobe support to start a thread regarding my issues.
It seems to be an ongoing issue with Acrobat which only occurs on hardware calibrated monitors on OS versions 10.7+
Since upgrading our operating system from 10.6.8 to 10.9 Acrobat no longer displays the correct colours. We are using Acrobat version 10.1.13.
All colour settings are sync'd across apps and Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop are correct and match, but Acrobat does not. The output intent is correct, but the colours displayed are not. They are muted and look to default to a standard setting.
This is an outstanding issue, and there are a number of forum posts with a full explanation, this one being the most in depth (and 2 years old):
Color issues in Mountain Lion with Acrobat Pro
It would be great if I am missing a very simple solution!
This is an example from the previous forum post which illustrates the issue.
This is definitely not fixed. At first glance it looks good, but its not.
Have a look at Cyan for example (only a wide gamut monitor will show this right).
Before and after 10.1.9 upgrade
Im seeing this on ISO 12646 certified EIZO ColorEdge CG242W.
