For the original of a document or book, say 「原本」; for a book in its original foreign language, 「原書」; for strongly original ideas, 「独創的」. 「原版」「原物」「正本」 are formal terms — the original plate in printing, the actual object, the master text copies are made from (in law, an official document drawn up from it) — while 「創造的」「創作的」「新奇」 are written-style. 「独自」「独特」「個性的」 stress distinctiveness, 「斬新」「目新しい」 novelty. For copies, use 「コピー」 or 「複製」.
