## Rules for an agent

- No public API, npm/PyPI package, open-source repo or self-hosted version was found (the footer 'Developers' link only lists the third-party PDF libraries Smallpdf uses); for automation use an API-first PDF service instead. The free embed viewer (smallpdf.com/embed-pdf) generates iframe code for any public PDF URL. Account uploads are deleted within one hour unless saved; files are not used to train AI.
- Do not resell or wrap Smallpdf's services; the terms forbid it
- Do not script the web tools; there is no public API
