Unfortunately, the conversion from HTML does not handle images but I'm pretty sure that XSL-FO does handle it (the images needs to be encoded directly in the XML though.

Otherwise, your other options are to use a commercial converter (i.e. Aspose).

I tried converting a template to HTML and then creating PDF from HTML. The dynamic table is created but now I am not able to get image in a PDF. The image is static and it is displayed in HTML template but not in PDF. I have also converted the image into base64 string. Anything that I missed here?

PDFs are not really good at this.

I would suggest one of the following:

- Generate rows dynamically with HTML and convert to PDF

- Generate PDF rows using XSL-FO

Both can be accomplished with the following plugin:
