Unfortunately I have yet to find a way to get your reader to give me a
paragraph object or any similar device to do these checks.
I think you're making the wrong assumptions about PDF.
When you create a PDF all structure is lost (unless you create a "tagged
PDF").
A paragraph is no longer a paragraph, but a sequence of glyphs painted
on a canvas.
A table is no longer a table, but some lines and some text.
Am I blind and missing something?
Please read ISO-32000-1 and use iText RUPS to look inside the PDF document.
This is a screen shot of a PDF opened in RUPS:

The "Stream" at the bottom is what the content looks like.
It starts with BT (= Begin Text) and it's followed by "/F7 1 Tf".
This means you need to look in the /Resources entry of the
/Page for a font with name /F7. Etcetera, etcetera,...
Or does your library not support a strong reading model?
With iText you have access to the lowest level of the PDF syntax
(as proven by RUPS), but if you make assumptions that there's
something like a "Paragraph" object inside a PDF, please reconsider.
Also note that you're not subscribed to the mailing list.
