but When I run the code...it will show error message
Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded
Please tell me what is the issue behind this..

Answer 1

I had the same issue when using a very large image. I solved the issue by changing the maximum execution time by adding this line before starting the pdf creation: ini_set('max_execution_time', 120);. You can also change this in your php.ini file if you like, just make sure you know what you're doing, as this setting applies to all scripts executed on your web server. You'll also have to restart your web server after making changes in the php.ini file.
Some other options so solve this are discussed here.

Answer 2

you can use this code :
<img src="{{ public_path("images/a.png") }}">
or can :
<div style="background: url({{ public_path("images/a.png"}})">text</div>
