  • Using PDFs in AE project

    I have PDFs to use in an AE project this morning. Must convert to an Adobe illustrator (or Photoshop) extension that’ll maintain image quality whether images scaled small or large (minus pixilation, blur, jagged edges). Novice here — please step me through. Appreciate any help provided.

    Ae can import PDF directly, one page at a time. Continuous rasterization [link] is supported (allowing smooth vector scaling above 100%).

    With most PDF’s you can change the file extension from .pdf to .ai and it will open in Illustrator or AE.
