EPS background file not showing up.

Please see code below, I have used the rule Insert a picture from file based on a database field. I have entered all the eps files by using the pathway, is it too complex maybe? Each person has a different eps background that has a specific address.

 

 

thank you for your time and help!

In my experience with eps files you will want to make sure the size is correct for your graphics box. I have some clients that think the eps is 2 X 1 and when it is opened in acrobat the file is 8.5 X 11 with the art down in the corner. Just an FYI from my experience.

thanks guys, yea i tried using a jpeg BC size 3.5x2 instead and it worked but the quality was not so great, so i tried next best thing, a PDF, and that works just as good as an EPS, but not sure y an eps wouldnt work when that is an option. Ill keep the sizing in mind.
