This is possible using iText. Have a look at the iText 5.5.x com.itextpdf.text.pdf.parser package or the iText 7.0.x kernel com.itextpdf.kernel.pdf.canvas.parser package.

To retrieve the font size, you'll have to extend existing text extraction strategies or create your own from scratch. Inspect the TextRenderInfo you get in the strategy callback method to find the font size.

Try this. If you have a tangible problem while implementing that, extend your question accordingly or ask a new one.
