Thanks, everyone, for your input on this task.
I did change it to generate PDF directly from RPG, with no intervening spool file, and all the display attributes work correctly (underline, highlight, and colors). Clearly there is some loss when a spool file is copied to a pdf document (I could only get underline to work).

I haven't changed it to put the printer file directly to pdf because this process runs on v5r4 also, which can't do that.
If I have to though, I will.

Did you try to generate the PDF directly from RPG?

Hi Thomas,
DId you remember to take the INDARA keyword out of the printer file

Thanks, Brian.
I tried method 2.
I've put this thin in debug and I know the indicators are on when
the
record is being written to the printer file, but the underline just
isn't showing up in the pdf.
I'm going to try removing the indicators on these fields in the
printer
file.
