Have you tried printing it all off page by page
then inputting it by hand... you will then have a hard copy for future reference

Didn't work

That's what you want
Just export the schema. Create a blank schema on the empty db and import it.

I say "just" this sounds easy on paper but it's usually marred by oracle being a cunt for no reason.

Nearly every time I try and do something that should work it doesn't due to oracle being a prick.

Being it is easy really.
Just refuse to do anything and mumble things about 'security' or 'performance'.
