It depends on how the IBM PDF conversion is handling the bold.

I know in our application, SPLTOOL, when we see this overprinting we know
it's for bold and use a different PDF font/keyword to make it bold.

I would contact IBM to see if they have an answer.

Working on a report that originates as a whole bunch of O-specs in an RPG

Now of course, I already know that overprinting underscores on a line
creates underscores.

I was under the impression that overprinting a line on itself creates
bolding. But in the resulting PDF, while the bolding might just barely show
up on the screen, it doesn't show up at all if I print the document.

Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or was I simply wrong about there
being a way to get bold in a report that starts out as SCS?
