Placing files
You can use the File > Place command to place artwork into a new layer in an image.
In Photoshop, you can place PDF, Adobe Illustrator, and EPS files; in ImageReady, you can
place files in any supported format, with the exception of Photoshop (PSD) files containing
CMYK images.
When you place a PDF, Adobe Illustrator, or EPS file, it is rasterized; you cannot edit text or
vector data in placed artwork. Keep in mind that artwork is rasterized at the resolution of
the file into which it is placed.
To place a PDF, Adobe Illustrator, or EPS file (Photoshop):

Open the Photoshop image into which you want to place the artwork.
2
Choose File > Place, select the file you want to place, and click Place.
3
If you are placing a PDF file that contains multiple pages, select the page you want to
place in the provided dialog box, and click OK.
