The very question indicates that you know what the answer is. See Term 9.3. Your users are bound by the Terms. This means they can print a copy of a web page for their own use (and probably up to 5000 copies each) but can't create a PDF. You could provide a CSS-formatted page for printing. See Term 4.4(b)(1). Google can discontinue your use of the API if you are deemed to be consciously and deliberately breaking the Terms. They could decide that since you are telling people how to break the Terms you have no intention of following them. Bottom line: it's up to you. It's your service whose future you're playing with.
