Are there ways to use it via an API? In particular I’d love to be able to programmatically submit a Word or Excel document and receive a PDF back

IMO, the convenience and reliability of a backup mechanical system would greatly override whatever benefit there is

I’m going to show my ignorance here, but my most recent vehicle is over ten years old. Are there not still physical locks that you can operate with a key?
