Continuing with what has been written so far, I would think that Latex does accept pdf figures directly. i use xfig to create a figure, save it with a .fig extn, and also export it as a figure with a .ps or .eps or a .pdf extension, according to my requirement. Then use \usepackage{graphicx} in the preamble and use in the tex file where the figure is to appear
\begin{figure}
\includegraphics{figurename.pdf}
\end{graphics}
and use pdflatex to generate a file with .pdf extension.
I find xfig program to be very versatile. Maybe XFIG is available for windows also. However, I use tetex under linux
