Get Text Format of RichTextArea Value

Is there any form to get the format of the text written in a RichTextArea?

For example, I want to get the font type, size, and so forth. I need those values to pass them to a PDF writer, so that the text of the PDF is in the same format than in the RichTextArea.

I am using iText and this is an example:

Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph();

//The value of font should be the font of the text written in the RichTextArea
paragraph.add(new Chunk(text,font));

document.add(paragraph);

To get format of the text written in RichTextArea you must to parse component value.

Value of the RichTextArea is html code, on example: 

<font face="Arial" size="6">Additional Text</font>

But it is complicated, so to get pdf from html you can use iText HTMLWorker.
