Document AI to detect shaded in text boxes.

Hello, I am attempting to use Document AI to extract data from pdf forms.

The problem is that there are some questions where the answer is shaded in.

Here is an example:

I have tried the form parser, OCR and a custom extractor but I am unable to detect whether or not a box is shaded in. Document AI only recognizes the text itself. For example in the output it detects "YES" and "NO" but there is no way to tell which box is shaded in.  

Does anyone know if it would be possible to detect the shaded in boxes?
