The yourlogicalfallacyis.com page provides nice summary of frequent logical errors people make. I like the site and the poster. Unfortunately I do not have large format printer handy.
Therefore I decided to make A4-friendly version of the poster simply by printing 4 quarters of original poster as individual A4 pages (which can be glued together afterwards).
To get such a PDF:
-
download logical_fallacies_for_a4.tex,
-
download the original A1 poster (and save in the same directory),
-
consider changing
logical_fallacies_for_a4.texfile if your printer allow for margins smaller than 1cm or requires margins bigger than 1 cm (instructions inside) -
execute (almost any working TeX installation should handle it):
pdflatex logical_fallacies_for_a4.tex
The result is 4-page landscape PDF consisting of 4 quarters of original poster.
And here is logical_fallacies_for_a4.tex (pagemargin and scalingfactor variables should be
modified if margin is to be changed):

% Calculation notes
%
% Original image (A1 version) has no margins and is
% 2383.94 x 1683.78 pts
% (as for example pdfinfo promptly shows)
% Quarter of it has size
% 1191.97 x 841.89 pts
% (and the same values denote mid-point of the image so appear below as
% border points)
%
% A4 landscape page is 297 mm x 210 mm = 842 pt x 595 pt. Therefore
% A4 page minus margin (which we here assume to be 28pt) is
% (842 - 2 * 28) x (595 - 2 * 28) pt = 786 * 539 pt
%
% Therefore the scaling ratios necessary to fit the image are:
% (horizontal) 786 / 1191.97 = 0.6594...
% (vertical) 539 / 841.89 = 0.6402...
% To avoid skewing we take smaller of those, 0.64 (slightly rounding)
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% Page margin
\newcommand{\pagemargin}{28pt} % about 1 cm, in points to make calcs easier
% Scaling factor (see above how to calculate it with respect to margin)
\newcommand{\scalingfactor}{0.64}
