Beginner help!
I got an email saying I'm an api user - but I use Wordpress and I have a plug-in for pdf viewing. 

Can anyone tell me if I can disregard this api? 
Seems to me it's for those who use coding..?

Thank you!

    If you don't know of any use of the Embed API, then I wouldn't worry about it. Your plugin is handling it.

    Here is the email - but I can't tell if this is for developers, or if I somehow put a viewer on my wordpress site...I just don't know. Thank you!

     Please disregard this email if you’ve already transitioned to the new modern PDF viewer.

    Hi Embed API user,

    We’ve launched a new modern PDF viewer that will replace the legacy viewer. In order to use the new modern PDF Embed API, website developers are required to add the latest PDF Embed API script URL in their websites. Please transition over to the new modern PDF viewer because the legacy viewer will be deprecated on Jan 31, 2023. Failure to do so will result in higher security risks, bug incidents and performance degradation with the legacy viewer. Learn more here.

    For any questions, you can reach us at the Document Services API community forum or contact customer support.

    Thanks,
    Adobe Document Services team
