Indeed, it would be great if Stata could export graphs to PDF under non-MAC
systems too.
However, under Windows, I've used the command-line converter -epstopdf-
(available in most LaTeX distributions I believe) without any problem. That
is: I export my Stata graph to EPS, call the external command -epstopdf- to
convert it to PDF, and the PDF file can be imported and PDFLaTeX-ed without
a glitch.
This can be done a one-step procedure with the following programme. Use
-grexportpdf using ... - instead of the official -graph export ...-
Best wishes
