    + How can I produce a PDF schema of my database? +
    + First you have to fill the 'relation' and 'pdf_table_position' + configuration variables. +

    + Then, think about your schema layout: which tables will go on which + pages. You have to fill in the 'relation' table the page number for + each master-foreign link. +

    + Then manually fill the pdf_table_position table with the coordinates, + x being the width and y the height, and (0,0) at the upper left corner. + For example, x=100 and y=200 means that the table will be at 200 mm + down and 100 mm right from the upper left corner. +

    + To produce the output, click on your database name, then choose 'Structure' + and 'Display PDF schema', and enter the page number. +
