I can use the DASetTextExtractionOptions and DAExtractPageText functions to get all the details of the text in a PDF file (ie. position, colour, font size/type and text as seen below)....

187.56,771.68,#000000,14.04,"Times-Bold","Preliminary Transthoracic Echo Report"
25.56,217.88,#000000,11.04,"Times-Bold","MEASUREMENTS"

26.28,653.6,#000000,11.04,"Times-Bold","CONCLUSIONS"

but is there a QP Function to filter out and only return the text in a PDF document based on the Font type you want?

No. You can do it by your own - you have the data ;-)
