The text extraction strategies packaged with iText are meant for plain text extraction only. If you want to extract additional information on the text, too, you'll have to implement your own render listener and use it instead. Actually the LocationTextExtractionStrategy contains data on the respective positions of the collected text chunks, you merely should add a method which returns the information in a properly structured way instead of digging for the information as is.
