What are common pitfalls when using FPDF to include graphics in PHP documents?

One common pitfall when using FPDF to include graphics in PHP documents is not specifying the correct path to the image file. Make sure to provide the full path to the image file when using FPDF's Image() method. Another pitfall is not setting the correct image format - FPDF supports JPEG, PNG, and GIF formats. Lastly, ensure that the image dimensions are appropriate for the PDF document to avoid distortion or cropping. 

// Specify the correct path to the image file
$imagePath = 'path/to/image.jpg';

// Set the image format
$imageType = pathinfo($imagePath, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);

// Check if the image format is supported
if($imageType == 'jpg' || $imageType == 'jpeg' || $imageType == 'png' || $imageType == 'gif'){
    // Add the image to the PDF document
    $pdf->Image($imagePath, $x, $y, $width, $height, $imageType);
} else {
    echo 'Unsupported image format';
}
