"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:

please help me solve this error to add pictures in pdf simply
i expect from code to add image with user unput in pdf
There are some basic issues with your code related to adding image file.
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.
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.
