I have a PS file with three text boxes on three layers. They are still editable as text. Unfortunately, I have the fonts for only two of the lines (which is okay at this point). I saved the PS file as an EPS with Preserve Vector Objects checked, and then I opened it in AI. Only one line was vectors; the other line was bitmapped, as was the line of type with the font I didn't have.
I have tried every trick I know to get the second line out of PS as a vector object (it doesn't have to remain editable, just vectorious). I exported to EPS, to PNG, to Photoshop PDF. No success. I tried to convert the text in PS to outlines, but I can't find where to do that. I tried to copy the text from PS and paste it directly into either AI or ID. No success. I tried to copy the text that was not converted from its original layer and paste it onto the layer that was vectorized, but I couldn't copy as a text frame. I did copy the text as text and then pasted it into the other text frame.
I have PS and AI CS3, Acro 8, and ID CS4.
