That is what I would like to do ---- to preserving the original image.

Just to clarify, you mentioned JDK JPEG image handling, is that what needs
to be used for Tiff image handling (in my report I have just Tiff images),
and if so, do any settings need to modified in the fop.xconf file?

Two questions about CMYK on the same day!

The JDK JPEG image handling functions cannot handle CMYK. If the images
include a color profile then FOP can convert the images to RGB. To get FOP
generate a PDF with images that preserve the CMYK colors you need to use a
ImageIO library like TwelveMonkeys. Get it, compile it and place the JPEG
related jar in the FOP lib directory (note that you will also need to add
some of the core jars).
