Re: ADA print requirements for PDF and other documents

I think the WCAG specifications (both 2.0 and 2.1) would be a good place to start. Sure, a lot of that would apply to digital documents (as does the PDF/UA specification) but WCAG also addresses the components of visual accessibility, that would be relevant in print, too. For example, with the use of color and contrast ratio requirements.

I hope that helps get you started in a good direction.

Best,
Paul
