Could use some of the AFP keywords. I believe color is now supported and I believe transformation services utilizes iText in the background.
You could also write to the PDFs yourself using iText and Java.

subject: Re: SCS to PDF via OVRPRTF
In the Good Old Days, overprinting the same character on top of
itself did result in the character printing BOLD. But that only
works with physical printing (ie paper, ribbon, and a print chain or band). Overprinting to a laser printer doesn't-- IMHO, because the dots that make up the character are printed precisely in the same position on the page each time.
I think you'll need to find out how to issue a "BOLD" attribute to the resulting text.

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?
