I am working on iMac, thinking about creating a few images for customized UIButton on iPhone app, now I wonder what would be the best tool out there that I can use. It would also be better if it's free as I am on very low budget.

Best? Photoshop bar none. Or illustrator if you prefer vector.
Cheapest? PS trial or gimp.

I use photoshop or fireworks :)
as for free versions i'd use gimp - http://www.gimp.org/

I need to hire a graphic designer to draw some elements of my iPhone game and I am looking for some templates of draft contracts between software developer and graphic artist.
This is the first game I am developing and I am new to the industry.
What is the typical scenario? Does the artist get paid a fixed sum or also a percentage of the sales?
Any suggestion where to start looking please? Cheers!
You might want to go to the Fourerr website and ask that question.
You can communicate with the Designer until you find exactly what
you need. There is no penalty in talking to as many Designers as
you choose.

I have an image on my device which I capture from camera. The image has readable text. I want to convert that image into text i.e. get the text of image and display it.
I went through Tesseract demo, but not all the text of image is converted into text. I know that there are few paid SDK's like ABBY SDK available for this, but I was looking for some free source.
Are there other SDKs available for the same?
See this for how to do something quick on iOS with Tesseract. I doubt you will get the accuracy you want though. So far I haven't found a good opensource solution because the iPhone camera is not well suited to this problem. There are a few online API options that do better.
Oh and one word of advice, don't pay for anything without trying it in your situation :)

I am trying to convert word(.doc) into PDF on iOS device. Is there an opensource solution where I can use as a C/C++ lib or something?
There really is no conveniently open-source library that will do this for you: you may get some mileage out of WvWare but I've never seen it used on iOS and I'm not sure what platform dependencies it may need.
If your iphone is connected to the net, then you can call a Docmosis web service to do it. You need to sign up though.

I need to preview my iphone app icons and also need to export these for the web. I remember Apple had a tool that would take a file, apply those effects and then save it. What's the name?
Maybe you are not talking about this app, but I think it could be useful:

I have a pretty simple 2D flash game. It's a jump n run sidescroller and I want to port it to the iPhone.
But what is the best way to do it? There is Adobe Flash Pro CS5 but I'd rather program it from the scratch in an iPhone environment.
Are there any top games done by open source framekworks? Which is the best way to go?
If your main concern is easily porting it, then I'd have a look at corona. Apparently porting from flash is very easy, and they have guides for ActionScript to Corona (Lua) conversions. It's not free or open source, but there is a 30 Day trial period available.
