Are these cards fixed, static cards in the stack or are the objects on 
them generated dynamically? If they're fixed during development, you 
could use the "replace" trick, where you generate pdf data with 
placeholders and store it in the stack, then replace the placeholders 
with any dynamic field content during run time.
