I am generating a PDF file using FPDF in Python. Below is a code snippet, where I am creating a table using cell. The table consists of 3 columns. In the last cell of each row, I need to insert an image with a QR code. I don't know how to insert an image inside a cell.

#Create table header
height = 5
pdf.cell(w = 50, h = height, txt = 'Product', align = 'L', border = 'B', ln = 0)
pdf.cell(w = 120, h = height, txt = 'Instructioon', align = 'L', border = 'B', ln = 0)
pdf.cell(w = 20, h = height, txt = 'Video', align = 'L', border = 'B', ln = 1)
#Create the content in the first table row
pdf.cell(w = 50, h = height, txt = 'Product 1', align = 'L', ln = 0)
pdf.cell(w = 120, h = height, txt = 'some product descriptions', align = 'L', ln = 0)
#This is the cell I need to insert an image with a QR code, but I don't know how to insert the image inside a cell
pdf.cell(....)

I add a link reference

pdf.cell(col_width, line_height*3, border=1,align='L', link=pdf.image('my_image.png', 10, 8, 25))

Here is a workaround. Instead of creating the PDF directly with FPDF with limited functionality, you can create an HTML file, populate it with data, take a screen shot, and finally create a PDF.
