A few years ago, I wrote a small package for pasting PNG and PDF into org documents as attachments, which I still use: org-mac-image-paste:  https://github.com/jdtsmith/org-mac-image-paste. 

With the recent work on yank-media I'm hopeful I can retire this tool soon (see the bottom of that page).  I found I could pull PDF data from the clipboard via AppleScript (and display in the emacs-mac build using its image-io backend), but had to use the pngpaste tool for PNG data.  PNG data are indeed included on the clipboard («class PNGf»), and can be seen via AppleScript.

The code for pngpaste might be informative: https://github.com/jcsalterego/pngpaste/blob/main/pngpaste.m.
