Tiger only hintThere's a cool option in a new Grapher application (in Applications/Utilities) to copy equations to clipboard as EPS and PDF formats. But I was not able to paste the result to Adobe Illustrator.

Here's the workaround:

  1. Select the equation
  2. Copy as PDF
  3. Open Preview.app
  4. Select File: New From Clipboard (Command-N)
  5. Save As PDF
Now you can open this PDF with your favourite editor.
