eaDocX Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is eaDocX?
A: eaDocX is the Word document automation tool for Sparx Enterprise Architect. It generates professional documentation directly from your models.
Q: How does eaDocX save time?

Q: Can I share generated documents with my team?
A: Absolutely. eaDocX creates standard Word files that can be shared or archived for team collaboration.
Q: What about my existing Word templates?
A: eaDocX uses 100% of your existing Word templates: paragraph and table styles, headings, colors, spacing – everything.
Q: Why do you say eaDocX documents are more reader-friendly?
A: eaDocX lets you convert EA connections into document hyperlinks. This means your readers can explore your documents just like they would with a website – they don;t have to start at the top and read to the end. It also means that documents can have a short, simple core, then hyperlinks to additional information, saving your readers time.
Q: What about the Word features I use already, like Table of Contents and Table of Figures?
A: If you include either of these in your document, each time you re-generate your document with the latest EA information, those table with automatically update.
Q: My readers like a glossary at the end of each document, but ours are always too large.
A: eaDocX can take glossary information from EA, then scan the generated document, and create a glossary using only the terms which are used in the document. So no more massive glossaries with every term you have ever used.
Documents people actually read
eaDocX replaced our old EA document exports with normal Word documents. Our stakeholders likes that the documents looked like what we used to create by hand, and not like they had been created by a computer. They also like that we can now make documents which have a short, simple core, with lots of links to supporting information. This makes it quicker for them to read what they need to read. Oh, and they really liked the kind of conditional formatting which they normally get in spreadsheets. For the first time, we are producing documents people actually read
Two clicks to a polished first draft
To get started, I selected a package, ran Quick Document, and had a structured Word report that already matched our corporate template. No RTF templates, and most important, no post-processing marathon. Because it behaves like normal Word, the team just edits and reviews. My new EA users now spend much less time polishing documents, and more time with stakeholders.
