Back in the day, Paizo produced a number of decks of "Face cards", some generic and others specific to particular APs. When it was suggested that Paizo release them in digital format, the official response was "Several of us believe that if we offered our map and card products in PDF form, a significant number of gamers would choose the PDF edition exclusively over the print edition, which would mean smaller print runs for the print edition, which—since print costs are based largely on volume—would in turn mean higher costs for the print edition, which would lead to even smaller sales for it, which would mean we wouldn't have a profitable line anymore."
That's a fair assessment, but it seems to have been reconsidered when it comes to maps (who are now sold as PDFs), and the face cards have been out of print for years by now. Perhaps it's time to reconsider it for cards too? Ideally, they'd be sold as packs of images, not as PDFs.
