This is not the right way to extract font. To read font one has to iterate through pdf pages and extract font as below:

PDDocument  doc = PDDocument.load("C:/mydoc3.pdf");
List<PDPage> pages = doc.getDocumentCatalog().getAllPages();
for(PDPage page:pages){
    Map<String,PDFont> pageFonts=page.getResources().getFonts();
}
