The acmart
class has the text Manuscript submitted to ACM
explicitly hard-coded in standardpagestyle
and firstpagestyle
, so either one has to redefine those pagestyles (this will be tedious!) or applies a small patch with \ps@firstpagestyle
etc., substituting the undesired text with empty space, which is done by \xpatchcmd
and leaving the replacement 'slot' {}
empty (see below)
In addition, if the document class option manuscript
is set, the boolean 'variable' \@ACM@manuscript
is set to true, so this should be set to false explicitly.
Small info: page styles are defined in a macro name \ps@X
, where X
stands for the name of the page style, i.e. plain
or firstpagestyle
.
Since @
macros are involved, a \makeatletter...\makeatother
pair is needed.
