Vector Text problem in CS4, HALP!

[zipzip]

This is driving me nuts.

When I zoom in on type in Photoshop CS4 it's clearly pixelated. I figured photoshop just previews the text as rasterized, but when I drag the text layer into an illustrator doc it's still pixelated. By the way if I right click on the text layer in Photoshop it gives me the option to rasterize text, so I know it's a vector.

Also, when I save a photoshop doc as a pdfx1a (print ready pdf) and zoom in the text is clearly pixelated.

I'm not a rookie and I've asked everyone I know what the problem is and half of them don't even realize CS4 has vector type.

What am I missing here? Any help would be appreciated...

It's to do with how the zoom in Photoshop work, if I recall correctly.
The text is only appearing pixellated when you zoom in because Photoshop is built for raster, if you were to actually increase the size of the text it would not be pixellated.
If you go to Photoshop, Edit>Image Size, and instead of PIXELS, you change the percentage to let's say...800, then the results would be a larger image of a vector that is NOT pixelated.

thanks for the advice, but that's not it.

even previewing in Illustrator the text layer I brought in it is still showing up pixelated.

also, zooming in on a pdf in acrobat it's also still pixelated.
