I think changing org.apache.fop.svg.PDFGraphics2D class may
solve the image quality issue. Because PDFGraphics2D class
hangles the image drawing. Can Fop developer please give me some
help?

I tried to debug through fop with batik and find the call stack
for handling my png image is as following:

(1)org.apache.fop.svg.PDFGraphics2D.drawImage(Image img, int x,
int y,ImageObserver observer)
(2)org.apache.batik.ext.awt.image.GraphicsUtil.drawImag(Graphics2D
g2d, CachableRed cr):152
(3)org.apache.batik.ext.awt.image.GraphicsUtil.drawImag(Graphics2D
g2d, CachableRed cr):439
(4)org.apache.batik.gvt.primitivePaint(Graphics2D g2d):92
(5)org.apache.batik.gv.AbstractGraphicsNode.paint(Graphics2D
g2d):485
(6)org.apache.batik.gvt.CompositeGraphicsNode.primitivePaint(Graphics2D
g2d):130
(7)org.apache.batik.gv.AbstractGraphicsNode.paint(Graphics2D
g2d):485
(8)org.apache.batik.gvt.ImageNode.paint(Graphics2D g2d):34
org.apache.batik.gv.AbstractGraphicsNode.paint(Graphics2D g2d)

>From the call stack info, it is clear that PDFGraphics2D handles
the actual external image drawing. Can someone change
PDFGraphics2d to use the same approach to handle external image
file as other image handling code in FOP does?

Thanks.
