Answer 1

To save as PDF:

1) Select databse.

2) More > Designer

3) Import/Export coordinates for relational schema

4) Operations (scroll down) > Edit or export relational schema

Click Go.

5) Choose your preferences.

Click Go.

Save the file.

To save as image:

You can choose "SVG" in Step 5 instead of "PDF", but the it did not produce aesthetically desirable results for the ERD (at least for me).

I personally just converted the PDF to image using a third-party app.
