# [Plugin: article2pdf] Missing or incorrect image error

 * I have images inside my posts which are located on an external website. Whenever
   I attempt to generate a PDF on one of these posts, I get this error – **FPDF 
   error: Missing or incorrect image file: [IMAGE URL]**. I can verify that the 
   image URL is correct and that the image displays in the browser correctly (both
   in the post and when I navigate to the image directly). I do not have any problems
   generating a PDF from a post without external images…
 * Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this and how I can fix it?
 * Thanks…

 * Hi Capt,
    I’ve tested it on my blog: I’ve included an external image to a post
   and opened the pdf file. No problem, works fine.
 * I think it’s a PHP think. There is a PHP configuration option named “allow_url_fopen”–
   if this option is turned off your PHP can’t get Data from external URLs, but 
   this is necessary for article2pdf because the image data must be loaded.
 * Please check this option and please post a link where I can have a look at your
   posts with external images.

 * Marc,
 * Thank you very much! That solved the problem 🙂
 * I had totally forgotten to check the PHP config…
 * I really appreciate your help… This is a great plugin!

 * Hi Marc,
 * Great plugin, thankyou – I’m developing a theme using your plugin but am having
   some issues with images as well. Works fine with images switched off. But i have
   quite graphical content so is a problem.
 * Unlike Doug’s problem my images are placed in using the add media in the wysiwyg.
 * This is the error i receive:
 * >  FPDF error: Missing or incorrect image file: /home/vgmcom/public_html/files/
   > 2009/03/system-overview.gif
 * I am using wordpress MU so this may one of the issue. I’m guessing that it must
   be a URL issue?
 * The url for the current test page is [Website Link](http://vgm.com.au/engager/overview/).
 * I’d really appreciate some help, many thanks,
 * James
