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.
