first I will show you the live trace method its seems tricky at first, but becomes easier with practice.
first choose an image on your computer I'm using a apple because of its simple shape
and open it in illustrator
now using the black arrow button -click on the black arrow in the tools bar located on the side -then holding the mouse draw a square around the image -a blue line should appear around the image
now go object>live trace>tracing options
in options choose colour and hit set default
then you will get a traced image on the top of the screen hit the expand button now you probly just want a cleaner image, without all that stuff around it
now hit shift.>command>G this will hightlight and unlock the image so you can take off the items you don't want now you are left with just the apple
to save. just hit file>save as>adobe illustrator file or file>save as>adobe PDF
