[Tex/LaTex] Problem with the new 2017 ACM Master Article Template

acmpdftex

I'm writing a paper using the new 2017 ACM Master Article Template, and I've experienced the Undefined control sequence messages:

  1. \orcid — this one's not too important, I can just omit my orcid
  2. \@currentaffiliation ->\institution
  3. …->\streetaddress, …->\city, …->state, …->postcode
  4. others that I don't need
  5. <argument> [\protect \citeauthoryear — this one is critical

Note that I get these warnings when running their example sample-sigconf.tex.

While the 2nd and 3rd ones are a little annoying, if the control sequences are ignored, it just prints the institution, city, state, etc. which I can live with. However, the last one prevents my bibliography from printing correctly.

I've looked at this similar sounding question/answer, but that answer did not work for me (unsurprisingly, because I'm not using the named bibliography style). I also experimented with this approach, which seems to work, but I don't think the bibliography style it provides is ACM compliant.

Has anyone else had success with this template yet? Here is the command I'm using to compile it:

latexmk -pdf -pdflatex="pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode" -use-make sample-sigconf.tex

Here is my pdflatex version:

▶ pdflatex --version

Best Answer

You need to update acmart. I introduced \orcid in v1.15, 2016/06/25.

The current version is on CTAN, TeXLive, MikTeX etc. There is the development version at https://github.com/borisveytsman/acmart/, but you probably want to stick to the released one.
