You may need to make sure that your images are referenced by absolute and not relative paths in your html. This is due to the fact that most pdf writers create a temporary copy of your html input in a temp directory before parsing which then causes the relative paths to fail.

Try This:-

iTextSharp.text.Table table = new iTextSharp.text.Table(grdCust_accot_stmt.Columns.Count);
        table.Cellpadding = 2;
        table.Width = 100;
        grdCust_accot_stmt.AllowPaging = false;
        this.grd_Account_stmt();       
        //Transfer rows from GridView to table
        for (int i = 0; i < grdCust_accot_stmt.Columns.Count; i++)
        {
            string cellText = Server.HtmlDecode(grdCust_accot_stmt.Columns[i].HeaderText); 
            iTextSharp.text.Cell cell = new iTextSharp.text.Cell(cellText);
            cell.BackgroundColor = new iTextSharp.text.Color(System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#e8eff3"));
            table.AddCell(cell);
        }
 
        for (int i = 0; i < grdCust_accot_stmt.Rows.Count; i++)
        {
            if (grdCust_accot_stmt.Rows[i].RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
            {
                for (int j = 0; j < grdCust_accot_stmt.Columns.Count; j++)
                {
                    string cellText = Server.HtmlDecode
                                      (grdCust_accot_stmt.Rows[i].Cells[j].Text);
                    iTextSharp.text.Cell cell = new iTextSharp.text.Cell(cellText);
 
                    //Set Color of Alternating row
                    if (i % 2 != 0)
                    {
                        cell.BackgroundColor = new iTextSharp.text.Color(System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#e8eff3"));
                    }
                    table.AddCell(cell);
                }
            }
        }
        Document pdfDoc = new Document(PageSize.A2, 10f, 10f, 10f, 10f);
        PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, Response.OutputStream);
        pdfDoc.Open();
        pdfDoc.Add(table);
        pdfDoc.Close();
        Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
        Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;" +"filename=Reports.pdf");
        Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
        Response.Write(pdfDoc);
        Response.End();
