I agree with you that this is a problem. However, I have been able to get
around Stata's limitation occasionally by:
(1) saving my individual by-ten-categories graphs as ps files,
(2) turning them all into A SINGLE pdf file using a program like Adobe's
RunFilEx.ps.txt,
(3) and then using Adobe Distiller to print that resulting pdf file into a
new file with multiple pages per sheet.
I realize that this is not a very good solution in the long run, but it's
been useful to me from time to time.
