I have a psd file with picture and text, that I am trying to convert to svg - so the text will be scaleable. I am working with cs5. I believe you can export as svg from photoshop-cc now, but I dont have access to that.

When I open my psd in illustrator, selecting the convert layers to object option - the text is imported as an image.

I can copy each text box from fireworks and paste into illustrator, but if I select more than one text box it is pasted as an image.

Is there a way to open psd in illustrator (5) keeping the text layers as text?

If you've done anything to the text, such as apply layer styles or you've made it raster, you won't be able to import your text.

The best option would be to recreate it in illustrator. Photoshop is not designed to produce SVG's, and SVG's shouldn't contain images.
