If you used IDLgrAxis et al, you'd be using object graphics. How did
you generate the PostScript? If you used an IDLgrClipboard to create an
EPS, you simply need to add the /VECTOR flag to the Draw() method of
IDLgrClipboard when writing out your view to the file.

thank you for your replies. I appreciate them. I did use IDLgrAxis etc.
Could anyone please let me know how to use the vector keyword? I looked
up in the online help but couldn't find information regarding the vector
keyword. Thank you very much.

It sounds like you've saved bitmap information to the Postscript file.
Did you generate it with Object Graphics, using and IDLgrClipboard
object? If so, set the VECTOR keyword to the object's Draw method.

I've just succeeded in doing something very similar. How did you save the
image? You need to make sure not to use bitmapped fonts in order to do this.
I suggest that you start out with something simple like a 2-D plot in direct
graphics:
!P.FONT=0
Plot,xtitle='x title',ytitle='y title,title='Try to edit this
title',findgen(10)^2, psym=-4
and read it into Illustrator.
You should be able to edit the labels in Illustrator.
