[Tex/LaTex] Illustrator export for Latex

exportgraphicsillustratorpdf

I'm currently searching for a way of creating pictures for a LaTeX document.

Currently I'm trying to create the pictures with Adobe Illustrator, but I've got no clue how to import them in an good way to LaTeX?

At least I'm looking for an way of creating fine texts (so sizes and fonts are managed within the LaTeX document).

Is there a way to do it?

You can export them in any format you want that is understood by Inkscape and doesn't destroy the text information. So no export to any pixel format like png or jpg.

Then you can import your image in Inkscape and export it as "PDF+LaTeX":

From version 0.48, Inkscape has a special PDF+LaTeX output option. All lines and shapes are saved into a PDF file, while all texts are saved into a LaTeX file. Compiling this LaTeX will give you back the whole drawing.

From here. This way, all your fonts should be set to your document font.
