- Best PDF component? Prawn? I will need to embed images and add complex form layouts.
PrinceXML is the best PDF generator by far for complex layouts, but it will cost you (http://princexml.com/). 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)

- 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.
