When you print an estimate or an invoice from Apptivo, there might be an instance where the item image is not visible in the PDF. This might occur if the Item Image feature is not configured in the Settings page.

In order to print an estimate or an invoice with the Item image, it is important to check that the Item Image field is enabled in the Settings Page.

Consider performing the configuration in the Estimates App.
