Hello Everyone, I have been lurking here for awhile and now have some questions to ask the group. I am rewriting an application from .NET and was wondering on what gems to use and also advice on how to approach a couple of things architecturally. - Best PDF component? Prawn? I will need to embed images and add complex form layouts. - Datamatrix bar code generator (image) / reader (PDF or Image) - Backgroud process that runs every 5 minutes(pulls images from WebService and saves them to Amazon S3) Has anyone done something similar or have seen some articles/blog posts on what im trying to do? I''m really struggling to find good information on reading/writing barcodes. Thanks, Todd -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

You can run Prince without a license to try it out though, so see if it fits your requirements. The Princely gem will integrate it in your Rails app (https://github.com/mbleigh/princely )> - Datamatrix bar code generator (image) / reader (PDF or Image)http://groups.google.com/group/ruby-talk-google/browse_thread/thread/a22a01e80ec3740b?pli=1> - Backgroud process that runs every 5 minutes(pulls images from > WebService and saves them to Amazon S3)https://github.com/defunkt/resque or https://github.com/ezmobius/ nanite are good options, there''s others around. There''s plenty of posts around if you just google "background job rails3" or google the gems I mentioned.
