Howdy,

You can't drag directly from LaTeXiT to Illustrator? When you right click (or Ctl-Click) one of your imports to Illustrator is there a contextual menu item that permits editing? It has been soo long since I've done any of this stuff I don't remember. Maybe that stuff only worked with iWorks.

Good Luck,
