TypeError: Unable to end PDF

See original GitHub issue

Here is my code

const pdfDoc = new HummusRecipe('output.pdf', 'output2.pdf')
  pdfDoc
    // edit 1st page
    .editPage(1)
    .text('Add some texts to an existing pdf file', 50, 50)
    // end and save
    .endPDF();

Here is the error log

I had the exact same error with the same code (I guess it is from README’s modify sample code), and the error was solved when I changed ‘/path/to/image.jpg’ with an existing image file.

The error message would have room to be improved.
