documentation-generation

I'm looking for a FREE tool which allows to generate documentation for the DB schema, tables, column, keys, indices as a PDF or HTML format like the "Toad Data Modeler" which is a commecial tool.

I'm using Postgresql 9.2.

Could you suggest me some documentation generator?

Thanks

I've generally found SchemaSpy (git repo) useful for this purpose. It gets the job done with minimal pain and produces quite useful output. The cross-linked multi-page HTML output is particularly useful.
