How about using pdf as a format for performing the term search in the glossary generation? This would have the benefit of finding terms that only appear on diagrams.

Will that detect text in a diagram which is only a bitmap ?

I don’t think so but most EA diagrams exported via eaDocX are not bitmaps (albeit in rare cases they might include one). I certainly find that if I save the Word doc as pdf the EA diagram text is searchable (whereas it isn’t in Word).
What I don’t know is whether there an API for pdf that you can call from eaDocX to perform the search.
