Yes, you can convert your Photoshop text layers to Illustrator (vectors).

Simply save your Photoshop file with the text layers in .psd, and open it in Illustrator.

You can see the how-to guide on this url on Stack Exchange.

Once you're done, you can simply reasave your new file into PDF or EPS or AI.

Save the text from Photoshop as an .eps file. You should then be able to open it in Illustrator as a vector graphic. It works the other way around too.

If you're asking how best to import vectorised text from Illustrator in to Photoshop, My advice would be to first outline the text in Illustrator, Expand the vectors, and personally I would highlight the text, copy and paste into a Photoshop layer as a shape layer, However bear in mind that this will not be editable in any way outside of changing the colour and adding blending effects.

I agree with SaturnsEye before me, Do the artwork and text in Illustrator if you can, if there are any rasterised elements output them from Photoshop at high resolution and drop them into Illustrator, rather than going the other way around.

Hope this helps!

If it's just text based, use illustrator.

You must of rasterized your text in Photoshop, hence the blurring.

I suggest sticking to Illustrator if all of your work is going to be vector and doesn't need any finalizing in Photoshop.
