I currently use Adobe Reader 6.0.1. I also have Office XP.

I am having difficulty copying and pasting from a PDF file to Microsoft Word.

The PDF file I have has graphs and grids on it and they are not coming over in the paste.

Is Word the best program to be using for this? Also, which program can I use to manipulate existing and create new PDF files?

the only way to edit PDFs is using Adobe Acrobat (the writer), but that depends on the PDF-file (protected or not).

to create new PDF-files there are a lot of programs available. but none of them are for free. just do a google-search with "create pdf" and you will find a ton.

I myself have Adobe Acrobat available at work.

the only free libaries I know are iText and Apache FOP but I don't think that these 2 could help you, unless you are a java-developer
