The hint titled Save iPhoto Calendars as PDFs decribes a simple way to save an iCal calendar as a PDF by right-clicking in a blank area of the preview pane and selecting Save as PDF. It was then mentioned in the comments that the same applies to an iPhoto card, or you can simply select File: Print and then Save as PDF from the Print Dialog as well.

It is worth mentioning that for an iPhoto Card, if you select File: Print and then use the Save as PDF, your vertical card will print to a PDF rotated by 90°. If you then try to open it in Preview and use the Tools to rotate it, one of the pages will be upside-down.

If you right-click a blank area of the card instead, and then select Save Card as PDF... from the contextual menu, it prints with the proper orientation.
