The Publish pod for Frame2019 is a complete replacement for how Frame creates PDFs. I don't think the Publish pod can even work with Acrobat 9 as the PDF engine.
If you didn't use a custom install and already had Acrobat installed on your machine, then it's probable that Acrobat 9 is conflicting with the "headless" version of Acrobat installed with Frame2019 that Frame2019 is trying to use to create PDFs through the Publish Pod. And if you DID do the custom install and prevented Frame from installing the headless version, the Publish Pod is looking for Acrobat DC and not finding it. Basically, your choices are to remove Frame and do a custom reinstall without the included Acrobat engine, and thus being unable to use the Publish pod to generate a PDF, or to remove Acrobat 9 completely and reinstall Frame to fix the publishing engine.
