Allow Office.js api to save documents as read only

I posted this question @ http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39919312/office-js-saving-word-document-as-read-only

And got the answer that it's not currently possible.

Basically my problem is that I would like the word document to match what the pdf is like in our service. It could get confusing for the user if he thinks he can add text to the word document since it will NOT get updated at our end.

Please also add functionality to clear the read only property, or set to false.

This would be worthwhile - any update?
