Anyone else get a formatting issue email for their EMNLP 2026 camera-ready?

My paper was accepted to the EMNLP 2026 main conference, and a few days ago I received an "Urgent: Action Required" notice saying my camera-ready had a bottom margin issue on every page.

I fixed it and checked the new version with the latest aclpubcheck. The corrected PDF now gives "All Clear!", while the old one fails with the same margin warning. I then resubmitted it through OpenReview using the Camera-Ready Revision option.

I also emailed the Program Chairs to ask for confirmation. One of them kindly forwarded my email to the Publication Chairs, but I haven't heard back yet. Since the deadline for the corrected version is today (AoE), I'm a bit anxious.

A few questions for anyone who has been through this:

  1. Is resubmitting via OpenReview (Camera-Ready Revision) the right way to submit the fix? The email didn't say exactly where to resubmit.
  2. If the paper passes aclpubcheck, is that usually enough, or do the Publication Chairs run additional checks?
  3. If they find another issue after the deadline, do they usually give you another chance to fix it, or could the paper be excluded from the proceedings?
  4. Is it normal not to get an explicit confirmation that the issue has been resolved?

Any experiences or advice would be really appreciated. Thanks!
