Para empezar se supone que tienen instalado phpmyadmin sino pueden bajarlo de la pagina oficial. Ahora hay que ir al archivo config.inc.php y cambiar esto:

----------------

-------------------------------------------------------SQL Commands to set up the pmadb as described in Documentation.html. DON'T RUN THIS SCRIPT ON MySQL 4.1.2 AND ABOVE! Instead, please run create_tables_mysql_4_1_2+.sql. This script expects the user pma to already be existing. If we would put a line here to create him too many users might just use this script and end up with having the same password for the controluser. This user "pma" must be defined in config.inc.php (controluser/controlpass) Please don't forget to set up the tablenames in config.inc.php $Id: create_tables.sql 10257 2007-04-07 14:40:24Z lem9 $

Ahora al abrir phpmyadmin y seleccionar cualquier base de datos pordr ver la pestaa de diseador donde se peude ver el diagrama, al lado de la pestaa Importar .

Si se quiere guardar en PDF el diseo, se selecciona la base de datos, se va a la pestaa Operaciones y abajo donde dice Editar Pagina de PDF se crea una nueva. Luego de regreeso a la pestaa diseador se le da clic al botn para expotar en PDF , selecciona la escala y clic en el botn exportar. Aunque la verdad yo prefiuero hacer captura de pantalla porque no es que se vea muy bien el PDF pero no se pierde nada con configurar y probar bien.
