Along with the previous comments, I have used a small drill bit (1/16 inch) to drill a pilot hole, and you can use a sheet metal screw and hook for your picture. As long as you do NOT use a real long nail or screw that would penetrate to the door. The big box stores carry a variety of wall hangers for use on drywall. The typical plastic expandable plug and screw should work fine in the area of the pocket doors.
