For ACM distilling settings, please download the following job option settings: www.sheridanprinting.com/distill_sets/ACM.joboptions (right click and choose save target as) to your Program Files, Adobe, Acrobat, Distillr, Settings folder and name as -- ACM.joboptions Then use this setting when you create/distill your new pdf.

Section and Sub-section heads should remain with at least 2 lines of body text when near the end of a page or column. Also, be sure that your .ps file is formatted for American Letter (8-1/2x11).
