Problems printing to PDF

I'm trying to convert RATS graphs to .pdf format, without success.

First, I tried simply printing the graph using my PDF printer as the default printing device.
After asking me to supply a filename, RATS announces that it has encountered an error and must exit. The program then crashes and exits, without producing an output file.

I also simply tried to save the graph to .eps format. However, when I then use Adobe Acrobat to convert the EPS to PDF format, the left side of the graph is truncated (i.e. the graph does not fit on the page.)

I'm running WinRATS 8.20.

Why is this hard?

There was a bug in the graph-print operation in the early 8.2's. We have a fix for that.

I believe that's a bug in Acrobat. We use EPSTOPDF, which works fine.
