Join Tony Harmer for an in-depth discussion in this video Opening PDF files in Illustrator, part of Illustrator CC 2018 New Features.
- [Instructor] Illustrator now supports the opening…and placement of multi-page PDF files.…Of course, if it's a file…that has Illustrator editing capabilities turned on,…it should open anyway,…but otherwise you can just use the open command…or the place command to bring in a file.…If I use File, Open here, Command + O or Control + O,…I'll choose this PDF that I have on my desktop.…If I open that up, here are the import options.…Okay, so I can choose a page range here,…as you could with loading into InDesign…if you've done that process there,…or bring in the whole lot.…
You also get the choice to bring them in as linked assets…if you're just using them for placement,…then that's a good idea, of course,…because it's more file efficient to do it that way.…Although, if you want to edit the content,…you'll need to turn that off.…So I'll choose a range here.…What I'll do is I'll choose page two…and three,…and then to…six, like so.…Okay, so I should I have page three,…four, five, and six there.…
Let me just delete the end of that.…
