I am traveling to Italy next week from Switzerland. I have booked a few tickets (and downloaded PDFs) from https://shop.oebbtickets.at/

I have an Eurail Pass & have the following queries:

  1. Do I need to validate my ticket somewhere?
  2. Do I need to have any documents besides my Passport?
  3. I got the PDF versions of the tickets. Do I also need to have A4 Prints of the same (as I received a message after purchasing the tickets to do so)?
  4. Requirement of my or my family’s photo?

  1. No validation needed.
  2. Nope, not as far as the Eurail pass is concerned.
  3. Printing is not needed. They'll happily scan the reservation barcode from a screen.
  4. The photo in your passport is good enough :)
    Ticket inspectors won't be interested in your photo. Some of them want to see your passport just to check if the name matches with the name on the Eurail pass.

By the way, you're confusing ticket and reservation.

The Eurail pass is your ticket.

What you booked are reservations.

Please ask questions in the community and not via a private message. That's the quickest way to get a response. I don't work for Eurail/Interrail.
