component to create business cards on the fly. see description

[shoveswp]

I am looking for a component / plugin for one of our intranet applications.

The client requires that a user can order business cards via the portal. The business card will have a standard layout, but the user will be able to capture their information via a asp/aspx page and sumit. The result will be the information will automatically be added to the card layout and converted to pdf (or other printable format) ready to go off to the printers.

here's an example (but it's a website)

Please help.

I don't know of any components specifically for cards, but I'm thinking it would be possible to use a PDF component to do what you needed. It should be possible with a decent component to read in one of several "template" pdf forms, add some extra text to it, then save it out (or email it).

The only tricky part would be a preview mode, but if you create PDF templates for the card backing, then it wouldn't be too hard to create a CSS template for cards as well to show in the browser as a preview.

Try PDFlib (

Their component is pretty simple to use and you can do all sorts of things with PDFs
