"I'm working on creating a PDF from Python. As a beginner, a lot of errors are occurring in my code. This is my code:

There are some basic issues with your code related to adding image file.

  1. The self.image_file is initialized to empty string and never assigned the value provided by the user. This is fixed in below code by passing it as an argument.

  2. The generate_pdf() is an unknown method you are calling which is commented out and the output method is sufficient to generate the PDF file.

The below code is tested for generation of a PDF image with a PNG file.

from fpdf import FPDF

class PDF(FPDF):
    
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.header_text = ""
        self.footer_text = ""
        self.table_data = []
        self.table_header = []
        self.image_file = ""
        self.pdf_title = ""

    # Page header
    def header(self):
        if self.image_file:
            self.image(self.image_file, 80, 25, 50)
        if self.pdf_title:
            self.set_font('Arial', 'B', 15)
            self.cell(80)
            self.cell(30, 10, self.pdf_title, 0, 0, 'C')
            self.ln(50)
        if self.header_text:
            self.set_font('Arial', 'B', 12)
            self.cell(0, 10, self.header_text, 0, 0, 'C')
            self.ln(20)

    # Add a table to the PDF

elif choice == 5:
    image_file = input("Enter the name of the image file (including extension): ")
    pdf.add_image()

The problem is that self.image_file is an empty string.

Why are you asking for the image file name if you never actually use it?

Either assign pdf.image_file = image_file before calling pdf.add_image(), or change that function so it takes the filename as a direct argument.
