Below is DocBook fragment that I want to render as a figure.

The image I enclose (figure1.eps) deos not render neither with Apache

Cocoon nor with Jade. I just can not see the image from the most

popular PDF viewer such as Acrobat Reader, and the linux PDF viewers.

I have not looked at Cocoon for quite some time, but as far as I know it uses FOP to render to PDF.  FOP (apparently) only supports EPS if PostScript is the output format (which is not an enormous deficiency---XEP has the same limitation).

Maybe you can have FOP produce PostScript, and wedge something like ps2pdf into your Cocoon pipeline, I don't know.
