The utility room (housing the furnace/AC and HWS) is next door to the room that is to become my den/study. The main duct passes through this room but has no vent into that room. Is it OK to cut a hole in the duct and install an adjustable vent there?

I assume you have excess capacity in the house and can spare the heat/cool? PJ
It will likely not heat the new room well and will reduce the heat in the next room. The supply and size of the duct will need to be large enough for both and the total supply (furnace) will need to be large enough.
Of course you could just try it and hope. You may get lucky.
Yes.
Is it ok? You can do whatever you want...
Will it work? Unless you understand static pressure, and why its there and what the hole will do to it, and how to maintain it...no.
Hi Stormin, hope you are having a nice day

If you actually knew anything about ductwork you would know that this could throw off the whole system. they are designed for a certain static and number of runs and this could cause quite a few problems.
