If you print from Adobe Acrobat or Reader to a PostScript printer, you will get colormetrically-correct RGB to CMYK conversions that often seem “dull” compared to the colors you see on-screen which are quite frankly, out of gamut for a CMYK printer. On your home computer, whether MacOS or Windows, unless your printer is either a PostScript or a direct PDF printing device, the print drivers use an RGB printing model. You either have a printer with CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) inks or a printer, typically higher end inkjet devices, that has additional colorants (often either orange and green or light cyan, light magenta, and gray) to allow gamut expansion when converting from RGB colors.

This solution allows flawless printing of any PDF documents with custom fonts, layouts and illustrations, but it significantly increases the time spent on actual printing, especially if the documents are sent to the network printer. In this case it partially rasterizes (converts to image files) each page of your PDF document before printing it.
