{print | save to PDF | save to <mumble> format | display on screen}
Anyone know of one?

psql with fancy output formatting comes to my mind, or "COPY table TO
file" SQL command.
HTH,

How on earth can either of these have to do with producing an ERD?
postgresql_autodoc might help: http://pgfoundry.org/projects/autodoc/

Sorry, the ERD thing got lost in my mind while resolving the "*".

There's a perl module, GraphViz::DBI::General, which does a rather
nifty job of taking a schema and making a graphviz "dot" file from
it, which can then be processed into any of a bazillion formats.
It basically makes a box for each table, with fields, and an arrow to
each FK referenced table. All layed out nicely.
You may also want to investigate the SQLFairy < http://
sqlfairy.sourceforge.net/ > if not for anything besides their awesome
logo. :-)

case studio can reverse engineer erd's from existing schema, and you can
print out the schema, create html or rdf reports, or export the erd as a
graphic. Downside is it can't do direct port to pdf (though you could
get around that with OO i imagine), plus its windows only and
commercial.
