Businescards with QR-Code |
||||
Businesscard with QR-Code |
||||
========================= |
||||
|
||||
Businescard with full VCARD as QR-Code, ready to send to online printers. |
||||
What happens, if you give someone a visiting card? Either he manually types the text into the mobilefone, or it will end up in a box and be forgotten. Here is the solution: A visiting card with QR-Code, so that it can be scanned with an [app] on the mobilefone and therefore automatically imported into the electronic contacts. This also works well, when yoiu are offline and bluetooth transfer fails. So here os the highly configurable businescard or visitingcards with full VCARD as QR-Code, ready to send to online printers. |
||||
|
||||
Other available visitingcard templates, such as [mschlenker] distribute the cards on a A4 paper. But if you want a profesional printer, such as [onlineprinters], then you need to be able to generate a PDF with exactly one card, an exactly defined border and crop marks. That's why I wrote this template. |
||||

||||
|
||||
|
||||
Usage Example |
||||
------------- |
||||
|
||||
*Important*: You must use `xelatex` for compilation, because `xelatex` properly supports UTF-8 (e.g. needed for german umlauts or chinese characters). The package `inputenc` messes up with package `qrcode`. |
||||
|
||||
Include the documentclass, define your date and add the document part: |
||||
|
||||
```latex |
||||
\documentclass{businesscard-qrcode} |
||||
|
||||
\def\type{home} |
||||
\def\printaddress{} |
||||
\def\givennames{An} |
||||
\def\familynames{Example} |
||||
\def\street{Einbahnstrasse 84} |
||||
\def\city{Irgendwo} |
||||
\def\zip{1001} |
||||
\def\country{Switzerland} |
||||
\def\homepage{example.com} |
||||
\def\email{name@example.com} |
||||
|
||||
\begin{document} |
||||
\drawcard |
||||
\end{document} |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
Save it as file [texstudio_d30266.tex] and compile it to get [texstudio_d30266.pdf]: |
||||
|
||||
xelatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode texstudio_d30266.tex |
||||
|
||||
The result:\\ |
||||
![the resulting visiting card](screenshots/texstudio_d30266.jpg) |
||||
|
||||
See [examples] for more examples. |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Documentclass Options |
||||
--------------------- |
||||
|
||||
Layout options are set as options to the `\documentclass`, e.g.: |
||||
|
||||
\documentclass[textwidth=0.7,qrwidth=0.25,www,nofill,iconright,rightalign,hint,icon,textfirst]{businesscard-qrcode} |
||||
|
||||
Available options: |
||||
- `paperwidth`: width of the physical paper where the card is printed on (incl. border), default: `89mm` |
||||
- `paperheight`: height of the physical paper where the card is printed on (incl. border), default: `59mm` |
||||
- `contentwidth`: width of the card's content without the border that is cut, default: `85mm` |

||||
- `cutlen`: length of the cut marks in `mm`, default: `1` |
||||
- `textwidth`: relative width of the text block `1` means full width, so `qrwidth` plus `textwidth` should be smaller than `1` the remainig space is left empty between the text and QR-Code, default: `0.55` (that's 55% of the available space) |
||||
- `qrwidth`: relative width of the QR-Code `1` means full width, so `qrwidth` plus `textwidth` should be smaller than `1` the remainig space is left empty between the text and QR-Code, default: `0.40` (that's 40% of the available space) |
||||
