Question:
I am unable to add an image, either remote (https) nor local (file) from the footer or header template. How can I add an image?
Answer:
If you search for headerTemplate
on this site you can see the options for headers and footers.
As for images, while its not clear from above, Chromium has extra restrictions on the header/footer templates. In particular remote resources cannot be loaded.
Instead, you can Base64 encode your image file as described above.
