Probably the easiest way to get your data into Adobe Illustrator is to go to the file menu and select Export Map.
From there, Save as Type: AI (*.ai)
Note the options in the Format Tab.
Alternatively, there is also a paid plugin called MAPublisher. It allows you to import the shapefiles directly into Illustrator. Effectively turning Illustrator into a basic GIS program. I haven't played around with MAPublisher for several years, but it looks like you can import MXDs directly into Illustrator.
