  You'd need to check the PDFMake documentation, but you might need to convert the image to be a base 64 string for it to work.

  hi Allan,

  all looks good from there:

  var docDefinition = {
    content: [
      {
        // you'll most often use dataURI images on the browser side
        // if no width/height/fit is provided, the original size will be used
        image: 'data:image/jpeg;base64,...encodedContent...'
      },
      {
        // if you specify width, image will scale proportionally
        image: 'data:image/jpeg;base64,...encodedContent...',
        width: 150
      },
      {
        // if you specify both width and height - image will be stretched
        image: 'data:image/jpeg;base64,...encodedContent...',
        width: 150,
        height: 150
      },
      {
        // you can also fit the image inside a rectangle
        image: 'data:image/jpeg;base64,...encodedContent...',
        fit: [100, 100]
      },
      {
        // if you reuse the same image in multiple nodes,
        // you should put it to to images dictionary and reference it by name
        image: 'mySuperImage'
      },
      {
        // under NodeJS (or in case you use virtual file system provided by pdfmake)
        // you can also pass file names here
        image: 'myImageDictionary/image1.jpg'
      }
    ],
  
    images: {
      mySuperImage: 'data:image/jpeg;base64,...content...'
    }
  };

  Are you using NodeJS or the virtual file system provided by pdfmake as the comment about using file names directly states?

  Converted the image to Base64 and it worked a treat. Thanks.
