Anil,

From the Help File:

"If an image includes vector graphics, such as shapes and type, Photoshop can send the vector data to a PostScript printer. When you choose to include vector data, Photoshop sends the printer a separate image for each type layer and each vector shape layer. These additional images are printed on top of the base image, and clipped using their vector outline. Consequently, the edges of vector graphics print at the printer's full resolution, even though the content of each layer is limited to the resolution of your image file."

NOTE: to a PostScript printer.

There are only two file formats that will support vector data (outside of photoshop), EPS and PDF.

Also, the file has to contain vector data to be able to save vector data. If your text has been rasterized or flattened, the vector option will not be available.

did you mean should i convert my psd file into photoshop eps file ?

if it is possible , would please tell me how to bring photoshop design in freehand so that i could add text there?

thanks
