Suppose I have a DataFrame I want to export to a PDF. In the DataFrame I have the following columns: Code, Name, Price, Net, Sales. Every row is a Product.

You'll probably have to play a bit around with width and height attributes, but this should get you started. Basically, you're just converting the image/links to html, then using the df.to_html to display those tags. Note, it won't show if you're working in Spyder, but as you can see below with my output, works fine through jupyter notebooks

import pandas as pd
from IPython.core.display import HTML

df = pd.DataFrame([['A231', 'Book', 5, 3, 150], 
                   ['M441', 'Magic Staff', 10, 7, 200]],
                   columns = ['Code', 'Name', 'Price', 'Net', 'Sales'])

# your images
images = ['https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/2007scape/images/7/7a/Mage%27s_book_detail.png/revision/latest?cb=20180310083825',
          'https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d9/5c/9b/d95c9ba809aa9dd4cb519a225af40f2b.png'] 


df['image'] = images

# convert your links to html tags 
def path_to_image_html(path):
    return '<img src="'+ path + '" width="60" >'

pd.set_option('display.max_colwidth', -1)

HTML(df.to_html(escape=False ,formatters=dict(image=path_to_image_html)))

Then you have some options of what to do there to go to pdf.

You could save as html

df.to_html('test_html.html', escape=False)

then simply use and html to pdf converter here, or use a library such as pdfkit or WeasyPrint. I'm not entirely familiar with those (I only used one of them once a long time ago), but here's a good link

Good luck.
