We are planning to create a business card designer where users can add text, change font, color etc. They should also be able to add images from clip-art to these cards. We need to save this design and get a preview of what they have done.
We would also need an output for printing this to business cards for admin. We heard that output should be in SVG for preserving quality for printing.
We had started with one Flex programmer and we faced multiple issue while saving this custom template from Flex. They were not able to position the text properly in the output compared to what we see the in the flex design tool. For example, if we add a text to the bottom left and save the design, in the preview it was moving towards right side compared to what we designed in the Flex editor.
Now we need a good idea whether this feasible in flex with saving this output in a server side language (PHP). While saving, we would need flex to send x and y positions, color, text, font etc to a PHP script so that server can run this save feature in the background to save the time. When we tried with developer last time, PHP was getting wrong x and y coordinates and they were not able to save this properly.
We would need to know whether this tool is feasible with flex, PHP. We would also need guidance on what output format needs to be exported from flex so that we can use this for printing. We dont want the Flex to save this output though as it can make the user to wait for long time while sending this output to the server.
