What is eaDocX?
The original add-in for Sparx EA, making it easy to create high quality, business ready documents, tailored for demanding stakeholders, with integrated model updates
eaDocX is the leading document generation add-in for Sparx Enterprise Architect, turning models into professional Word documents with full formatting and updates. It saves time, ensures consistency, and makes it easy to share UML, BPMN, SysML, and ArchiMate content with stakeholders.
Highlights include:
- Live, editable Word documents – generate EA content directly into Microsoft Word, fully formatted and styled, ready for editing and collaboration.
- Round-trip updates – refresh documents to automatically update with model changes, keeping outputs always in sync.
- Table and matrix generation – create clear, customizable tables, matrices, and cross-references that are hard to achieve in Sparx’s built-in reporting.
- Side-by-side comparisons – compare model versions and highlight differences directly in Word documents.
- Context-aware content – choose exactly which model elements, packages, or diagrams to include, with fine-grained filtering and conditional rules.
- Custom styling with Word templates – apply your own corporate Word styles and templates, for consistent, professional documents.
- Spreadsheet integration (eaSheets integration) – embed model data as editable Word tables linked to EA, for easy bulk editing and analysis.
- Stakeholder-friendly outputs – produce readable, business-ready documents for non-technical audiences, bridging the gap between EA models and decision-makers.
