Hi,

Export how?
Which PDF pre-set?
What is the effective ppi in the original document?

In what format is the image?

Is it placed or pasted?

Never paste any image. Place them as linked files. JPG and PNG are rafer images. Depending on the original and final resolution they might be recalculated and loose resolution. Depending on their quality settings in PDF export they might loose also quality. Both settings can make images blurry.
Is there a specific reason, why you chose to use PNGs?
