Opening and placing artwork
You can use the Clipboard and drag-and-drop importing to bring images into Illustrator. 
(See 
.) However, two commands are 
most commonly used when importing artwork created by other applications:
The Open command opens a file created by another application as a new Adobe 
Illustrator file.
The Place command places an image in an existing Illustrator file in one of two ways. 
Depending on the file format, the Place command creates a link to an external file by 
default and does not include a copy of the file in the Illustrator file. You can also 
deselect the Link option in the Place dialog box, which embeds (includes) a copy of the 
file in the Illustrator file. 
Your document’s color mode (CMYK or RGB) does not change when you place a file that 
uses a different color mode. Colors in the imported file convert to the document’s color 
mode when you export or print the file.
Note: Adobe Illustrator does not color-manage imported grayscale images. If you import 
a grayscale image that had a color profile in Adobe Photoshop, for example, the profile is 
discarded when the image is imported into Illustrator.
Opening files 
When you open a file created by another application, it becomes a new Adobe Illustrator 
file. Vector artwork in the file you open is converted to Illustrator paths, which can be 
modified using any Illustrator tool; bitmap images can be modified using transformation 
tools, such as scale and rotate, and using image filters from the Illustrator Filter menu. 
(See 
.) For information about 
opening shared files from a server, see 
.
Files that have been saved in Portable Document Format (PDF) can be opened as Adobe 
Illustrator documents, without losing the ability to edit artwork with Illustrator tools and 
commands. Artwork stored in PDF format can also be placed into Illustrator files, as 
described in 
.
