For Ada programmer we just donwload the copy from 

http://www.ada-auth.org/standards/ada12.html

either in PDF/ HTML ( zipped ) / TEXT files ( zipped ). There is the 
Ada 2012 Language Reference Manual (Ada LRM aka RM) or the Annotated 
Ada 2012 Language Reference Manual (AALRM). For quick reference most 
will use the RM. For writting compilers most will use the AALRM.
