You don't have to create artwork from scratch in Adobe Illustrator—you can import both vector drawings and bitmap images from files created in other applications. Illustrator recognizes all mutual graphic file formats. Tight integration betwixt Adobe products and support for a wide diverseness of file formats, makes it like shooting fish in a barrel to move art from one awarding to another past importing, exporting, or copying and pasting.

Virtually linked and embedded artwork

When you lot place a graphic, you will see a screen-resolution version of the file in the layout, so that you tin can view and position it, merely the actual graphic file may exist either linked or embedded.

Linked artwork is continued to, but remains independent of, the document, resulting in a smaller document. You can modify linked artwork using transformation tools and effects; yet, you cannot select and edit individual components in the artwork. You lot can apply the linked graphic many times without significantly increasing the size of the document; y'all tin also update all links at once. When you export or print, the original graphic is retrieved, creating the final output from the full resolution of the originals.
Embedded artwork is copied into the document at full resolution, resulting in a larger document. You can update the document whenever you similar; as long as the artwork is embedded, your document is self-sufficient.

To make up one's mind if artwork is linked or embedded, or change its condition from one to the other, use the Links panel.

If the embedded artwork contains multiple components, you tin edit them discretely. For instance, if the artwork contains vector data, Illustrator converts it to paths, which you can and then modify using Illustrator tools and commands. Illustrator also preserves the object bureaucracy (such as groups and layers) in artwork embedded from sure file formats.

Identify (import) artwork files

The Identify command is the primary method of importing, because it provides the highest level of support for file formats, placement options, and color. After y'all place a file, use the Links panel to identify, select, monitor, and update information technology.

Open up the Illustrator document into which you want to place the artwork.

Choose File > Place, and select the text file you want to place.

Select Link to create a link to the file, or deselect Link to embed the artwork in the Illustrator document.

If applicable, exercise ane of the following:

If you identify a PDF file with multiple pages, yous can choose which page you want to place and how to ingather the artwork.
If you embed an Adobe® Photoshop® file, you tin can choose how to convert layers. If the file contains layer comps, you can likewise choose which version of the prototype to import.

Identify linked Photoshop documents

To place your artwork created in Photoshop directly into Illustrator artboard, do the following:

ClickFile > Identify. A dialog appears to choose the file from your calculator or cloud documents.

Click Open up Cloud document.

Select your PSD cloud document and click Identify.

You can view the linked file data past clicking Linked File in the Properties panel.

Import text into a path/shape

Introduced in Illustrator CC 2017 release

Place text from a supported file correct inside an object, such equally a shape. You can identify text from files in the .txt or .rtf formats, or files from give-and-take processing applications. For example, you can place text from a .rtf file into a polygonal shape.

Create a path/shape using any drawing tool, such as the Rectangle tool, Shaper tool, or the Pen tool. Yous'll place the text file within this shape.

ChooseFile > Identifyand select the file y'all want to place.

Later the text file is loaded in the place gun, click the path of the shape.

The text is placed inside the shape. You tin at present apply the desired styles and effects to it.

shape_text — Identify the text from a text file into a polygonal path/ container.

This can happen if someone moves the original file to a different folder or server after information technology'south been imported into a document. Yous tin can't know whether a missing file is up to date until its original is located. If you print or export a document when this icon is displayed, the file may non print or export at full resolution.

Embedded

Embedding the contents of a linked file suspends direction operations for that link.

To specify that you want to update links automatically or manually, choose Edit > Preferences > File Treatment & Clipboard (Windows) or Illustrator > Preferences > File Handling & Clipboard (Mac OS), and gear up the Update Links pick.

Restore a single missing link or supervene upon a link with a dissimilar source file
