I have never used *.bb files. I use regularly png, jpg, pdf in both pdflatex and xelatex and they just work. If I want to scale an image, I use width/height/scale parameter in \includegraphics. I am not sure whether png contains information on resolution. What I know for sure is that PDF/X (for printing) does not allow RGB and does not allow transparent images (alpha). If the document was printed, they had to convert the images to either grayscale or to CMYK (for colour printing) and remove transparency. It might have changed metadata of the images.
