I don't think any such thing exists (and surely not officially). The ARM is 
formatted for a non-standard paper size (7x9") which was adopted for some 
reason for Ada 95. The AARM is formatted for US 8 1/2x11 paper (but it's 
unofficial in any case).

The best way to get a printed copy is the buy the Springer edition.

If you have more time than money, you could make one yourself:
(1) Download and compile the formatting tool (its found on ada-auth.org).
(2) Download the input source for the ARM.
(3) Generate an RTF form of the ARM.
(4) Load that into Word 2003 (other word processors *may* work, but only 
Word 97 and Word 2003 are *known* to work [and Word 2000 is known *not* to 
work]. I'll be trying OpenOffice 2.4 the next time I need to work on the 
ARM).
(5) Set the page size to A4.
(6) Apply the half-dozen hand patches. Regenerate the table-of-contents.
(7) Save in some other format than .rtf (saving as .rtf crashes every 
version of Word ever tried).
(8) Output as PDF using your favorite PDF writer.

If you have neither time nor money, forget the paper and use the HTML 
format; it is better anyway (because it has links).

                             Randy.
