PDF print at home file can be printed on A4 or US letter size paper. After downloading the file to a laptop or desktop computer (avoid using a tablet or smartphone as some cannot open zip files), open it in Adobe Reader and select File/Print. Verify that your printer is set to 100% scale, no scaling, or actual size. Only print the page with a test square. Before printing the rest of the PDF file, measure the 10×10 cm or 2×2″ test square to ensure that the printing scale is correct.

You can also take the A0 file to a copy shop and have it printed in large format. Make it clear to the copy shop that you want it printed without scaling or at 100% scale.
