Re: itextpdf-5.5.13.2

[Buck Calabro <kc2hiz@xxxxxxxxx>]

The advice I follow for my own work with Java and RPG is this: Always
write a working example in Java, then implement that in RPG.

I don't use this API, so I had to look it up.
The PDF Reference cited in the iText 5 API is PDF 1.7:
https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference_archive/pdf_reference_1-7.pdf

There, on page 580, the valid values for Duplex are
Simplex
DuplexFlipShortEdge
DuplexFlipLongEdge

I note that the documentation has these in camel case, but the RPG
definitions are upper case. That's the place I would start.
