Thanks for the reply. I'll try out gif instead of png and see if this
overcomes problem.

XSLFO doesn't go into much of a detail when it comes to handling
external graphics. Basically, it states "processor specific".
Well, PDF can handle transparent PNG, and I thought Jimi (used
by FOP) is able to transform PNG with alpha channel into the
corresponding PDF data. You might have hit a PNG subformat which
isn't supported by Jimi (it's old), or a bug. Try converting
the PNG into a GIF first and see whether it works, or into
another PNG subformat (preferably 16 bit color).
