Questions

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the ULN2003AD?

Yes. The symbol is Analog & Interface:ULN2003 and the footprint Package_SO:SOIC-16_3.9x9.9mm_P1.27mm, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.

What package is the ULN2003AD?

SOP-16, with 16 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.

Where is the ULN2003AD datasheet?

Texas Instruments publishes it: the Datasheet link on this page opens it.

Where can I order the ULN2003AD?

JLCPCB lists it as part C7512, with 396,335 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.

What can replace the ULN2003AD?

Parts like it in the library: the ULN2003AFWG by Toshiba, the ULN2003A by Gcore and the U2003 by Wuxi Siyon Microelectronics Tech. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.
