How to add a contract editor + export in pdf feature in my react app? - reactjs

I am writing to you today because I need your developer advice.
A friend and I have been developing for several months a project management tool (react + firebase).
The app is well advanced, and we would like to add a contract editing tool. The goal is for the user to have access to an editable template (a window with a text editor) of a contract. Once amended, the contract must be exportable in pdf format.
We are a little confused about how to approach the problem. Following our research we found the frameworks draft.js and pdf2json, but the way to proceed remains unclear for us.
Have any of you ever crafted a similar feature in an application and could you give us some hints?
Any help is welcome, thank you in advance!

Designing window frames (of real houses) with React

In my new project with React, I need to implement an environment for designing doors and windows so that the user can design frames through the browser (like the two figures below) and then save it on the server-side. Then I have to fetch and display it in the mobile application that is implemented with React Native. I searched for it but couldn't find anything special that would work. I even found "konvajs" that has done some work in this area but it doesn't work for me and I think I need to develop this feature myself. If you know of any tools or technologies for this, please let me know. If not, what do you think I can do about it?

How can you build React on top of Drupal?

I've never used Drupal, but have been looking up tutorials online. My client would really like the adaptability of React and to have more flexibility in terms of design. I could make my own database and React app, but I have not studied security (I'm a team of one, so no one for security on my end, either). Security and access to a content management system was the main reason we decided to go with Drupal. However, I would still like to be able to code in React/something I'm familiar with to produce a site I am proud to say I made.
I've been Googling and Youtubing tutorials and help, but not having anyone to ask specific questions is making this difficult.
If anyone knows of a relatively easy way to build a React app on Drupal, I would really appreciate the advice. Or if there is a better way I should go about beginning a project as I've briefly mentioned above, I would also be open to that. Thank you in advance and sorry for the long message!
What you are asking is quite broad in concept and not easy to answer in just one answer post. Try to look for Headless / Decoupled Drupal.
https://www.acquia.com/drupal/decoupled-drupal
What this essentially means is that all the services and the content management are handled by Drupal while the core user experience or the way the site is displayed in a browser is controlled via a JavaScript framework such as React.js or backbone.js. This is achieved via Drupal’s RESTful API service.
Hope this helps.

Is there any decent way to embed microsoft OneNote into my web app? ( React js )

In short, I'm building web application with React which will need to support Microsoft OneNote. But as far as I've searched, there is no embeding for OneNote?
So my question is. How to implement as much functionality as possible using OneNote Graph Api and React? What I thought so far is using react-rte... but that package supports only one editing box ( one note page consists of multiple editable parts which each has it's own position, cordinates, etc.. so thats doesn't seem to be a solution..) Maybe i missed any other good libraries or there aren't any?
Embedding OneNote in your web application is currently not supported.
If you believe we should have this functionality, I encourage you to upvote this item in uservoice: https://onenote.uservoice.com/forums/245490-onenote-developer-apis/suggestions/5909975-allow-live-onenote-pages-to-be-embedded-on-a-websi

How are you integrating help into your WPF application. Any recommendations?

The question says it all really. If you are writing a WPF application, how are you integrating the application help? What is the state of play in mid-2013?
It seems that there is no clear answer to this from an afternoon with a search engine, but several options:
Write your own fancy tooltip based help (but where are you getting your data from?)
Use .CHM files and the Windows Forms help system (seems archaic to me).
Use Microsoft Help Viewer 1.X or Microsoft Help 2.0.
There is some confusion as to which is more recent / approved of by MS. It appear Help Viewer 1.X might be the recommended option over Microsoft Help 2.0. It doesn't help that the names are so similar...
What is the status of 2.0? Should we use it? Was it ever fully deployed?
Use a third-party product to author your help files and link to them somehow - DocToHelp/NetHelp, NetAdvantage on-line help, etc...
Furthermore, what XAML based mark-up / attributes are you using to provide the necessary context? What is the recommended method?
It seems surprising there is no clear path for supporting application based help in WPF.
My current preference is to use a third party help authorizing system to generate HTML based help.
We then use a WebBrowser to display this help as needed. The authoring system we use makes it fairly easy to extract out a single page from the main help (each "topic" is a single HTML file, and can be included with full contents or not as desired).
Granted, this definitely felt like a bit of a nasty hack at first - but once we wrote the basic plumbing (some attached properties for xaml to specify attributes for context location and add behavior to trigger help, etc), it's fairly clean.
One very nice advantage to this approach, however, is a single help system build works perfectly in all contexts - we can include the documentation online, expose it locally for use in a browser, and use it with context from within our application directly.

Creating an online Asset Library/Catalogue? Help

I've been asked to look in to creating and online database for sorting flash banners. So its kind of like a big resource library where our client can log on search and browser for old/existing banner creatives.
Does anyone have any recommendations on what I should do/look in to. CMS Framesworks etc.
I'm pretty sure I could use Wordpress for this job via custom post types etc. But I think there's probably a better solution out there. Drupal? Joomla? Expression Engine? Or would it be better to just create a basic cms from scratch.
Features needed:
Kick arse search functionality (am guessing the client will likely try to search for creative by year, month, campaign, banner type.
Smart navigation
Sharing is convenient
Must be able to demo working demos of expanding banners as well as non-expanding
CMS so new ads can be easily added to the library.
Thanks in advance for you knowledgeable insights :P
cheers
Although basic Joomla has own extension for this purpose, here:
