Of course, you can see that some of the fonts inside the PDF are bolded, and I’d like to find the text and location of the bolded fonts, thanks!Desktop.zip (118.8 KB)

Please try using the below code snippet to achieve your requirements and let us know in case you face any issues:

// Load PDF document
com.aspose.pdf.Document pdfDocument = new com.aspose.pdf.Document(dataDir + "ExtractBoldText.pdf");

// Create TextAbsorber object to extract text
com.aspose.pdf.TextFragmentAbsorber textAbsorber = new com.aspose.pdf.TextFragmentAbsorber();

// Accept the absorber for all the pages
pdfDocument.getPages().accept(textAbsorber);

for (TextFragment textFragment:textAbsorber.getTextFragments())
{
    if (textFragment.getTextState().getFontStyle() == FontStyles.Bold)
    {
        System.out.println(textFragment.getText());
        System.out.println(textFragment.getPosition().getXIndent());
        System.out.println(textFragment.getPosition().getYIndent());
    }
}
