This question already has an answer here:
Before I start scripting myself with JS and SVG, I was wondering if there is an existing way to generate a color halftone in vectors, so that every dot is a perfect circle. So what I am looking for is a script that generates the raster in vectors rather than in pixels.
This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
VectorRaster is a stand alone application designed to input a raster image, convert to a halftone effect, then spit out a vector EPS or PDF. No direct need for any Adobe application.
Phantasm from Astute Graphics is an Adobe Illustrator Plug-in that pretty much does the same thing within Illustrator. Phantasm offers more on-the-fly WYSIWYG control over the conversion as well as the ability to create halftones using special or unusual shapes for the "dots". There's really a great deal more control over the conversion in Phantasm, not merely a couple options.
I have both. I personally prefer Phantasm... but I'm a long standing Illustrator user as well.
