Paginated-bundle redaction is the removal of personal data from numbered leaves handed over under CPR PD 31B, which expects a unique reference for every electronic page, and the CPR 31.10 list relies on that same numbering. anonym.plus runs locally and leaves each reference untouched, so the bundle index still holds.
When this applies
These unique reference numbers index every sheet in the bundle, matching the numbered entries in your CPR 31.10 list. You must clear the PII on each sheet without disturbing the number that keys it back to that list.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Load the numbered leaves into anonym.plus on your device.
- It maps the number zone so the reference stays untouched.
- The tool flags names, dates, and IDs in the body.
- Confirm the flags away from the number area.
- Redact or mask each confirmed item.
- Save the clean output on your device.
What you need to provide
- The numbered leaves (PDF or image scan).
- An operator; Redact for a clean black-box on disclosure.
- A reserved zone so the number is never touched.

Limitations & cautions
If the leaf number overlaps body text, OCR may confuse the two. Set a reserved zone for the reference and check the first sheet of each batch. A black-box cut must fully cover the value, not just hide it under a removable layer.
Frequently asked questions
Will the cut change the bundle numbers?
No. A reserved zone keeps each reference untouched, so the numbering that ties a leaf to its entry on your CPR 31.10 list stays valid while the PII on the sheet is cleared.
Is a black-box truly removed?
Use the Redact operator, which removes the text under the box, not just a drawn overlay that could be peeled back or copied out once the file changes hands.
Can it read scanned numbered leaves?
Yes. Local OCR reads scans, so PII printed on image leaves is caught before the numbered set is exchanged under CPR PD 31B.
