Of course! That's what variable data is all about. If you can tell me a bit about how the different signature graphics are denoted in the data, or what in the data indicates which graphic to use, I can make some more specific suggestions. Posting a sample of the data is probably the easiest way to accomplish this.

Great! So the signature is determined by the state of the recipient.

For Example: Arkansas correlates to the Sylvester Smith Signature.

Here's a sample Data List

There are multiple ways of doing doing things, but if it were me I would change the names of your signatures to be only the state or place the signature name into your data file and do something like:

//Change the image from "AR Sylvester Smith.tif" to "AR"
return '<graphic resource="'+Field("st")+'.tif" height=7200>';
//OR add the signature name to your data as a field to be pulled
return '<graphic resource="'+Field("signature")'" height=7200>';

This way you don't need to program each state, and if a signature is updated you don't need to update your code.
