This may be a very simple question, forgive me if I am a dolt. Is there a way to convert a large number of non-Bezier paths into Bezier paths? I have many long paths representing streams, imported from GIS data (I'm using MAPublisher, an Illustrator plug-in) and I would like to turn those paths into Bezier curved paths. Is there a function that allows me to convert to curves easily?

There's a smart path rebuilding tool in Astute Graphics VectorScribe. Perhaps that's the way to go.

Sure, here's a really simple map that is actually layered over some aerial imagery. I'd just like the freedom to convert the contour lines and stream to curves for aesthetic purposes and ease of editing. I use some orienteering cartography software that easily does this and wonder why it may not be available in Illustrator.
