Does PDF.js extract any page styling information?

I'm in a situation where I need to distinguish whether or not a PDF has a certain layout after scanning the document for text. Is this possible with PDF.js and if so where would I find this information?

Unfortunately, PDFs consist of very low-level drawing commands, and as such it is very difficult to extract any formatting information from them, no matter what tool/library. (See for example, here)
