AI detection
Anonymize dates in PDF
Local AI finds dates in multiple formats inside the PDF so you can review and redact before publishing.
Dates can re-identify people when crossed with public facts or internal calendars. Anonimatum’s date detector scans the PDF for diverse formats (numeric, textual, mixed) so you choose what to hide.
It combines with patterns, word sets and whitelist: keep public contractual milestones and redact birth dates or clinical appointments. Processing is European and does not use external LLM APIs.
On scans, enable OCR in anonymization or prepare the PDF with searchable text. Pair this detector with addresses, amounts and QR for a full minimization pass.
