Just off the top of my head: Warlock, Binder, Dragon shaman, Acetokineticist (variant PrC). I'm sure there are others.

Warlock and Favored Soul get energy resistances as class features. Most casters have a version of Resist Energy on their spell list.

Binder's one of your best bets, as it's a really flexible class that offers a lot of abilities and has several "exit points" making it a good class for dipping/multiclassing.

if invocations are allowed:
dragonfire adept gets access to energy resistance invocation at level 6 and energy immunity invocation at level 16.

Is this character already made? If not, might wanna check out Stonechild race. They have acid immunity.

Ironsoul Forgemaster gets good resistances, but the entry reqs are rather specific.

Cleric could craft arms and armour at 5th caster level with the right feat and with a forge and enough mw materials, money, time and xp could put acid resistance onto their armour or shield.

Oh, and I imagine there are a boatload of dragon-themed prestige classes and feats that would grant acid resistance or immunity if flavoured towards the black, green or copper dragon.

I mean heck, if racial options are allowed, half-dragon can do immunity to acid for +3 LA. And for prestige classes, dragon disciple is core.

Favored Soul, some Binder vestiges grant them.

Some races, e.g., Aasimar / Tiefling.
