Chris, I have successfylly solved the problem. I think it is a fop bug.
I have just changed 2 lines of PDFGraphics2D.java: line 289: and line 296 FROM: Dimension size = new Dimension(imageInfo.width * ratio, imageInfo.height * 3); and g.fillRect(0, 0, imageInfo.width * ratio, imageInfo.height * 3); TO: Dimension size = new Dimension(imageInfo.width * ratio, imageInfo.height); and g.fillRect(0, 0, imageInfo.width * ratio, imageInfo.height); I think it is not necessary to enlarge the image 3 times. After the change, the PDF image object forpng in svg is almost the same as that directly in pdf file: external png image 6 0 obj <</Type /XObject /Subtype /Image /Name /Im1 /Length 26341 /Width 500 /Height 400 /BitsPerComponent 8 /ColorSpace /DeviceRGB /Filter [ /ASCII85Decode /FlateDecode ] >> svg png image 11 0 obj <</Type /XObject /Subtype /Image /Name /Im2 /Length 26341 /Width 500 /Height 400 /BitsPerComponent 8 /ColorSpace /DeviceRGB /Mask [255 255 255 255 255 255] /Filter [ /ASCII85Decode /FlateDecode ] >> Another thing I found out is that JIMI support is not required for png file in svg. So probably fop should be able suport png file natively. Please have add my change change into your next release of FOP. Thanks a lot.
