Thanks for your response Paul. My background is in assessing digital properties against WCAG and 508. Though I recognize some ambiguity when seeking a direct application to print, I suspect Along with some of the available print guides, we'll be applying the spirit of WCAG to create our policy and standards.
Best,

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
