Java Icon label

My question is how to save an Icon image to a variable in java ? When all the values are displayed from my sql database in the JTextfields, I can write them on a pdf file in Java. However, I retrieve an image from my database which appears on a JLabel. How do I get that image to appear on my pdf file in java? Note that all my details in my JTextfields are shown in the pdf file when it is created. I want this image to appear in my pdf file. http://ift.tt/1CGF5CR

String val8 = id.getText();
Icon val11 = lblimg.getIcon();  

try{
    Document doc = new Document();
    PdfWriter.getInstance(doc, new FileOutputStream("Report.pdf"));
    doc.open();

    doc.add(new Paragraph("Employee Information", 
        FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.TIMES_BOLD,18, Font.BOLD, 
        BaseColor.RED)));
    doc.add(new Paragraph(
        "______________________________________________________________________________"));
    doc.add(new Paragraph("Employee ID is " + val));
