How would I make an acronym possessive? I've tried using \gls{ACR}['s] but that will just print out "Acronym (ACR)'s".

main.tex is typed as follows:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[acronym]{glossaries}
 \makeglossaries


% acronyms:
\newacronym{ACR}{ACR}{Acronym }

\begin{document}

\gls{ACR}['s]

\end{document}

You could use the acronym package. Rather than glossaries.

You will need to defined the following method in your preamble:

\newcommand{\acposs}[1]{%
 \expandafter\ifx\csname AC@#1\endcsname\AC@used
   \acs{#1}'s%
 \else
   \aclu{#1}'s (\acs{#1})%
 \fi
}

You can then call \acposs{ACR} to get Acronym's (ACR).

See my other answer if you want to use the glossaries package (a much simpler solution).

Add

\setacronymstyle{long-sc-short}

just after \makeglossaries.

There may be other acronym styles that work, but I found this style in the documentation and can confirm that it works.

EDIT: Acronym style long-short also works, and it doesn't introduce small caps, unlike long-sc-short.
