Hello Mark,

The way we used to deal with this, back when SCS printers were the only kind, was to arrange to "over-print" only those characters that you wanted to appear as "bold"...
My PDF workflow is as follows: OS/400 => Remote LPR *OUTQ with transform(*yes), type is SCS => Linux lpd => GhostPCL => PDF in User's home directory on Linux.
If you zoom in a lot into the generated PDF, you can even see that bold is in fact this kind of overprint you mention, with just a tiny amount of horizontal spacing. :-)
For anyone curious or not being able to use the IBM i integrated PDF converter:
