I have downloaded the new ACM template for conference proceedings (sigconf format). Even when I comment out the lines that are related to conference information, price, DOI, etc. I get the following lines on the first page:
Conference’17, Washington, DC, USA
2016. 978-x-xxxx-xxxx-x/YY/MM. . . $15.00
DOI: 10.1145/nnnnnnn.nnnnnnn
I have uncommented the line
\setcopyright{none}
so the copyright notice is gone, but the above information is still there (from acmart.cls)
Additionally, I get the paper's name on odd pages and conference information at the top of every page. How should I remove these lines?

Add the following lines below the
\documentclass
line.Removing "Manuscript submitted to ACM": add
\fancyfoot{}
in the preamble and\thispagestyle{empty}
after\maketitle
Removing DOI information only: Using the command
\acmDOI{}
to set the DOI to an empty string has only a limited effect: In the ACM reference format and in the copyright notice the prefixhttps://doi.org/
still remains. Only when using the class optionauthorversion
, this prefix will vanish in the footnote, but will still be part of the ACM reference. (Imho this is a bug.) Here is a hack to get rid of this prefix (and of any DOI that has been set).Add the lines
after the
\documentclass
line. This will remove the DOI line in the ACM reference format completely (including the line break). The conference information in the footnote will still retain the line break, which leads to a small extra vertical space. To avoid this, suppress the complete copyright notice by\renewcommand\footnotetextcopyrightpermission[1]{}
(see above), or redefine\footnotetextcopyrightpermission
in a more sophisticated way by just removing the\@formatdoi
command with the preceding\\
from the original definition (see the class file).
