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

Subject: [WebAIM] ADA print requirements for PDF and other documents

Hi all,



I'm looking for ADA or business print guidelines for accessible documents like PDF.



In researching, I've seen a lot of documentation on how to make these documents digitally accessible, but none on physical accessibility for a paper document.



Please share your thoughts and resources.



Thank you,



Joel Isaac
