I am running 2015b on a Mac with Mavericks. In Simulink, I select "Print" from the file menu. There is an option to save the file as pdf. The resulting figure is not suitable for direct inclusion into e.g. a LaTeX document as there is a great amount of white space around the central figure. A little post-processing is required, but the result is print-quality.

Do you just want an image of the top-level model to be exported to a PDF file? If yes, I think you can just use the File>Print option and select a PDF Printer. If you're looking for a more extensive look inside subsystems, etc., I only know of the Simulink Report Generator product which lets you export the model as a Web View (HTML files), which is clickable.

The solution suggested above only works if you have access to a pdf printer (which I think requires a specific Adobe product.)

Here is the method I use to save Simulink diagrams to pdf:

>>saveas(get_param('FigX_model','Handle'),'FigX_model.pdf');

This method works in 2013a.

There are some free softwares out there like cutepdf writer. You can use that to save a simulink block diagram as pdf. Similar to the one Kaustubha mentioned.
