Genuine question: what’s your use case for having a single SF Symbols icon as a PDF file? Let alone having that as the default? In my own experience, I’d want SVG nearly every time.
You're right. Just flipped the default to SVG on main. Honest answer: SVG wasn't fully working during early dev, so PDF was the working default and it stuck. Should've revisited.
Right, these are licensed by Apple for UI use on Apple platforms only. The README has a "Before you use this" callout up top about this. sfsym is an export tool; what you do with the output is on you.
This is great! I found myself asking my AI agents to generate those icons every so often (esp. for websites), so thank you for taking the time to build this.
Quick question, are you also planning on supporting animations?
Thanks! I'm not sure how animations would translate into these exported formats. SF Symbols animations are typically state driven, and that doesn't really translate to a standalone SVG/PNG/PDF. You'd get something that autoplays on loop, or fires once. Let me know if you had something else in mind.

But these are copyright by Apple so are you allowed to use them on your commercial websites and apps?

This is not my iconset of choice, though.
