Import and edit Adobe Illustrator images

Understand how to import and edit images in Adobe FrameMaker using Adobe Illustrator.

You can import Adobe Illustrator images into your Adobe FrameMaker documents. FrameMaker supports layers, and you can import graphics with multiple layers into your document.

Also, you can open Photoshop images for editing right from within FrameMaker.

The following Adobe Photoshop images can be imported into a FrameMaker document:

Choose File > Import, and then browse to the Illustrator file and insert it into your document.

You can then open the Illustrator file for editing in Adobe Illustrator from within FrameMaker.

To edit the image in Adobe Illustrator:

  1. Select the image you want to edit.

  2. Right-click the image, and select Edit With Illustrator. Adobe Illustrator opens with the image open for editing.

  3. Edit the image.

  4. Choose File > Save or File > Export (depending on the image type) to save the edited image.

  5. Choose File > Exit to close Adobe Illustrator.

The edited image is updated in your Adobe FrameMaker document.

Note: Adobe Illustrator needs to be installed on the same system as Adobe FrameMaker for this feature to work.
