You must download and put somewhere on your disk JAI or JIMI (on your repository is a good place for it).

Then you must register the one you installed with for JIMI :

Because reports are generated before the site copies resources like images and the order of reports depends of several parameters. We need that images and generated files are created before we launch the pdf creation. Thus it is not possible to create a pdf report because we can't call it at the end of the site generation process.
