 An object that contains the options for an Office document.
enableOfficeEditing boolean <optional>
 If true, will load office files with editing capabilities.
officeOptions.templateValues Core.TemplateData <optional>
 If set, will perform template replacement with the data specified by this parameter.

officeOptions.disableBrowserFontSubstitution boolean <optional>
 By default, office viewing takes a lightweight approach to font substitution, allowing the browser to select fonts when they are not embedded in the document itself. While this means that WebViewer has access to all the fonts on the user's system, it also means that an office document may have a different "look" on different systems (depending on the fonts available) and when it is converted to PDF (as the PDF conversion routine cannot obtain low-level access to user fonts, for security reasons). disableBrowserFontSubstitution prevents this browser substitution, forcing the WebViewer backend to handle all fonts. This means that viewing and conversion to PDF will be 100% consistent from system-to-system, at the expense of a slightly slower initial viewing time and higher bandwidth usage. Using https://docs.apryse.com/documentation/web/faq/self-serve-substitute-fonts/ along with this option allows you to fully customize the substitution behaviour for all office files.
