How to get whether Character is bold or not in pdf using PDFBox

I am using PDFBox API 2.0.1 version for reading PDF files. I want to extract the text properties and written the following code to get the bold property of text 

@Override
protected void processTextPositon(TextPosition text)
{
    System.out.println(text.getFont().getFontDescriptor().getFontWeight());
}

From the above code, I am getting 0.0 for every character even-though the character is in bold. Please suggest solution. Thanks in advance.

usingFontDescriptor.getFontWeight()There is no guarantee of determining that whether the text is of bold or not.

I prefer you to use text.getFont().getBaseFont().Contains("bold") for extracting Bold text .
