1. If EPS images are not shown this might be caused by the security policy of ImageMagick. To solve this problem you must change file /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml according to Debian wiki. For example add/change:

     <policy domain="coder" rights="read|write" pattern="PS" />
     <policy domain="coder" rights="read|write" pattern="PS2" />
     <policy domain="coder" rights="read|write" pattern="PS3" />
     <policy domain="coder" rights="read|write" pattern="EPS" />
     <policy domain="coder" rights="read|write" pattern="PDF" />
     <policy domain="coder" rights="read|write" pattern="XPS" />
