    Exporting From ArcGIS to Illustrator

    The workflow of preparing maps and diagrams for presentations often involves a hand-off at some point between ArcMap and a vector drawing program such as Adobe Illustrator. This can be useful if you wish to use geometry from GIS as the basis for diagrams that you would create in illustrator, or if you want to use illustrator to fix some of the awkward legends or labels that ArcMap makes for you.

    The short story here is that it IS possible to export an ArcMap map composition to an Adobe Illustrator file in such a way that the layers are intact with all of their crisp vector integrity. But there are a number of tricks that you must know on both sides of the ArcMap>Illustrator Exchange.
