Hi,
This error means that the library the plugin uses to retrieve the image to include it in the PDF is not able to download it.
So it's a server configuration issue.
It could be that file_get_contents or cURL is not available on the hosting, or allow_url_fopen or allow_url_include are turned off:

It seems you're saying allow_url_include is turned off on your hosting so that might be the reason. It could also be that ini_get is not available or not returning the correct value for some reason.
I would recommend checking with your hosting support what can be done. Unfortunately, since it's a server configuration issue, there is not much we can do on our end.
