I am still failing at this. I will try to go as step by step as I can so that you may point out my errors. It feels like I am close!
Here is sample of data file, tab-delimited flat file.

Original, I had just the LocationID by itself, without the .PDF extension. I added the .PDF extension.
I can remove the extension if need be. I added the extension because I though an exact file name match was needed.
PDF files are located in directory /LocationID
Open file
Insert Graphic Variable Frame
Create Rules

Check advanced, added directory to path

I run composition.

I get "No value associated to graphic copyhole<> in record XX" (I expect the gbd_id not found, text file is not finalized yet.)
No "msg" file is generated, at least not in the documents directory.
