\begin{abstract}

I am getting an error this error

Hi bailian,

welcome to the board!

Install the acmtrans package. If you use MiKTeX, it can be installed with the MiKTeX package manager, or get it from CTAN.

In case you already have it installed: I remember that acmtrans is a document style of LaTeX 2.09, to be used with \documentstyle{acmtrans}. With the current LaTeX2e, however, use the acmtrans2e class:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{acmtrans2e}
