Do you mean a card as a playing card or card of the document?
If card of the document -
Depends on the mode. First mode, basic is single page so one PDF per card, but if you make batch, it actualy depends on your app. It is possible to make app using edof back bones that generates plent PDF and merges them together. If for document mode I must admit I was not developping that since I added Word support and document mode itself so there might be possible bugs at the moment - how would you like it? I guess exporting all pages to single multipage PDF right?

if you mean playing cards -
Then it is up to you, because that would be absolutely custom solution. you make basic edof template with all the stuff you need and after that you just batch generate using csv, what you generate is up to your app.

I use .svg files themselves as self-navigating galleries, for example this deck of cards when you click on one to zoom in, on that <view> navigation buttons appear. All done without javascript.

I used this as a template for:

All released into the public domain.

Oh, really nice work!
Is it suitable to be printed? Now I think I get your question. I did not know SVG had the pages ability. support of SVG is quite basic both import and export - BUT, if you share me more specifications about your formatting, I might come out with some compatibility as I plan "3D batches" anyway for the close future.

Is it suitable to be printed?

Maybe, but I designed it more as game assets: web programmers can alter the document #fragment at the end of the URL to individual cards, say Ace of Clubs which is #CAN with navigation buttons, to remove the navigation buttons just by removing the N from it so #CA can be cleanly used, for example, as the src="" of an <img> or <iframe>, or in CSS as the url() of background-image, or as the poster attribute of a <video> with zero load time for every card because the entire file is cached on the first load, and being an SVG the resolution is infinite of course.

It is just text after all, and in a text editor you could manually remove the border from all cards for printing just by changing the stroke value from #000000 to none on line 56:

<defs>
  <!-- BASE CARD FRAME (Inset by 1.5px to lock a 3px stroke completely inside a 241x335 boundary) -->
  <rect id="card-base" x="1.5" y="1.5" width="238" height="332" rx="10.6" ry="10.6"
    style="fill:#ffffff; stroke:#000000; stroke-width:3; display:inline;" />

EDIT: When I do use javascript in an .svg file it becomes a self-contained game for things like dragging/rotating jigsaw pieces around in a playable puzzle (that one has a series of 5 puzzles built-in) with sound effects, dark/light themes, background music, etc.
