Paper is neither acid nor alkali since its main constituent is cellulose. Some papers are manufactured with processes or printed with inks that may leave acidic or basic residue on the paper.
As paper ages and is broken down by oxidation, bacterial, or fungal decomposition you would expect carbon dioxide to be produced. Carbon dioxide dissolves in moisture to produce carbonic acid...but that isn't paper.
