[6.8] How can I produce a PDF schema of my database?
|
||||
</h4>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
First you have to fill the "relation", "table_coords"
|
||||
and "pdf_pages" configuration variables.
|
||||
First the configuration variables "relation",
|
||||
"table_coords" and "pdf_pages" have to be filled in.
|
||||
<br /><br />
|
||||
Then, think about your schema layout: which tables will go on which pages.
|
||||
Then you need to think about your schema layout. Which tables will go on
|
||||
which pages?
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Click on your db name in the left frame</li>
|
||||
<li>Choose "Structure" in the navigation on top</li>
|
||||
<li>Choose "Edit PDF Pages" which should be somewhere at the
|
||||
bottom of the page</li>
|
||||
<li>Enter the name for a first pdf page and submit (you can also use
|
||||
the "Automatic layout", which will place on your page
|
||||
all the tables that are linked)</li>
|
||||
<li>Choose this page to edit</li>
|
||||
<li>Now add a table you want to show on this page and its coordinates and
|
||||
submit<br />
|
||||
First you will have to guess those coordinates of course, so just expect
|
||||
to have an area of about 297 * 210 and put the tables coordinates
|
||||
somewhere in there, you will be able to have a look at what happened
|
||||
and change them later.<br />
|
||||
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.<br />
|
||||
Actually if you have a width of more than 300 or a height of more than
|
||||
200 then it will automatically be scaled but 200*100 is a good start to
|
||||
have an idea of what coordinates to use.</li>
|
||||
<li>There is also a visual editor (scratchboard) available, see the
|
||||
explanation at the <a href="#wysiwyg">$cfg['WYSIWYG-PDF']</a> section.</li>
|
||||
<li>After every table you submitted you will have the possibility to submit
|
||||
more tables</li>
|
||||
<li>When you have entered enough tables Click on your db name in the left
|
||||
frame again</li>
|
||||
<li>Now, again at the bottom of the page you should be able to choose
|
||||
"Display PDF schema"<br />
|
||||
For testing it might be useful to show the grid as well, so you can see
|
||||
the coordinates used.<br />
|
||||
Maybe also choose color and submit.</li>
|
||||
<li>Save the file he will offer you to something like <i>Schema.pdf</i>
|
||||
(Internet Explorer has some bug there which might make it offer it
|
||||
without an extension. Under Windows it is important to have the
|
||||
extension ".pdf", under other OSes you should be fine just
|
||||
saving the file under the name it offers).</li>
|
||||
<li>Select your database in the left frame.</li>
|
||||
<li>Choose "Operations" in the navigation bar at the top.</li>
|
||||
<li>Choose "Edit PDF Pages" near the bottom of the page.</li>
|
||||
<li>Enter a name for the first PDF page and click Go. If you like, you
|
||||
can use the "automatic layout," which will put all your
|
||||
linked tables onto the new page.</li>
|
||||
<li>Select the name of the new page (the action choice being set to Edit)
|
||||
and click Go.</li>
|
||||
<li>Select a table from the list, enter its coordinates and click Go.<br />
|
||||
Coordinates are expressed in millimeters; your diagram will
|
||||
be automatically scaled to fit the page. When initially placing tables
|
||||
on the page, just pick any coordinates -- say, 50x50. After clicking
|
||||
Go, you can then use the <a href="#wysiwyg">graphical editor</a> to
|
||||
position the element correctly.</li>
|
||||
<li>When you'd like to look at your PDF, first be sure to click the Go
|
||||
button beneath the list of tables and coordinates, to save any changes
|
||||
you made there. Then scroll all the way down, select the PDF options
|
||||
you want, and click Go.</li>
|
||||
<li>Internet Explorer for Windows may suggest an incorrect filename when
|
||||
you try to save a generated PDF. When saving a generated PDF, be
|
||||
sure that the filename ends in ".pdf", for example
|
||||
"schema.pdf". Browsers on other operating systems, and other
|
||||
browsers on Windows, do not have this problem.</li>

||||
</ul>
