data modeler

I'm looking for a data modeler that can look at an existing database
schema and generate an ERD. A PDF of it would be nice. I'm using OS
X, but a Linux or Windows tool would be acceptable too. I don't need
any other features than that right now. Just want to generate
something that new developers can look at to more easily become
familiar with the schema.
Thanks,
-M@

Look for autodoc (or postgresql_auto doc) on http://pgfoundry.org.
Or maybe at http://www.rbt.ca

IMHO the GraphViz output is the most useful.

I found this: http://pgfoundry.org/projects/autodoc/

Is the only way to get this software through CVS?

I use software called Case Studio 2, which will read a database in a
number of different formats, including PostGreSQL and show you the ERD. You can always print
to PDF using PDFCreator or a similar tool.

from reading the description, it looks like they might have something,
but there is *no* documentation and i can't figure out how they want
me to run the install jar file.
