Hi there
I was copying some figures from matlab to illustrator and noticed that the font size decreased. Here is what I did: go to Edit in matlab figure---copy figure---right click paste in illustrator (or go to Edit in illustrator---paste in text). They all give the same results. Is there a way to keep the same image when copying from matlab to illustrator while at the same time still allow me to modify the figures?
Thank you very much

Hi Mark
Thank you very much for the suggestion. Unfortunately this doesn't work for me. The fonts indeed kept the same (I have tried this before). But at the same time, I lose the ability to modify the figures. Is there a way to keep the figures including the fonts the same but still allow me to modify the figures?
Thanks

I ran the following to generate the plot:
x = 1:10;
y = x.^2;
plot(x,y)
title('x^2','FontSize',16)
print(gcf, '-depsc2', 'test.eps')
And use the placed command in illustrator to load the image. All sizes appeared to line up correctly. I am running MacOS Mojave, MATLAB 2018b and Adobe Illustrator CS5.

If you want to edit a figure in some other applications, save it as vector graphics file, using formats such as PDF or EPS. To export figures in Matlab to Illustrator, do the following:
Using GUI
  1. Select your figure. Now, choose File menu, Save As...
  2. Save the file as an .eps file (encapsulated postscript file)
  3. In Illustrator, you can open this .eps file
Using commands
You can either use saveas or print function to save the figure.
For example to save a figure as an EPS file using 'epsc' file format
saveas(gcf,'FigureFile','epsc')
Please refer to the documentation on ‘Save Figure to Open in Another Application’ for more information.
