People and place names would be looked up in gazeeters (ie, dictionaries) and dates, numbers and amounts would be normalized so as to be comparable (eg, find all PDFs whose contents contain dates > 20010101 and < 20100101).
Have a look at the Entity Linker. At the current state it can be used for geocoding. You could build your own implementation to link people to your people in a database or dictionary.
