I am having trouble with the titles in my PDF output. When I underline them, the underline extends too far past the title. It doesn't seem to matter which style I use, this is always a problem. Any thoughts?
options orientation=portrait nodate nonumber;
ods escapechar='^';
ods pdf file = "test.pdf";
title1 h=12pt "^{style [textdecoration=underline]This is my title}^n
^{style [textdecoration=underline]And the second line looks weird, too}";
footnote h=10pt j=c '^{thispage}';
proc tabulate data=sashelp.class missing;
class sex;
var height;
table sex='',height='Average Height'*mean='';
run;
ods pdf close;
Update on this question: There is a Tech Support note related to this issue that suggests using a different font will correct the issue -- here's the note: http://support.sas.com/kb/56/784.html .
And when I use Times New Roman (a serif font) for my title statement, there is no added space after the last letter.

Here's the code:
options orientation=portrait nodate nonumber;
ods escapechar='^';
ods html file="c:\temp\title_test2.html";
ods rtf file="c:\temp\title_test2.rtf";
ods pdf file = "c:\temp\title_test2.pdf";
title1 h=12pt font="Times New Roman" "^{style [textdecoration=underline]1) This is my title}
^{newline 1} ^{style [textdecoration=underline]And the second line looks fine, too}";
footnote h=10pt font="Times New Roman" j=c '^{thispage}';
proc tabulate data=sashelp.class missing;
class sex;
var height;
table sex='',height='Average Height'*mean='';
run;
title1 h=12pt font="Times New Roman" "^{style [textdecoration=underline]2) This is my title}";
title2 h=12pt font="Times New Roman" "^{style [textdecoration=underline]And the second line looks fine}";
footnote h=10pt font="Times New Roman" j=c '^{thispage}';
proc tabulate data=sashelp.class missing;
class sex;

table sex='',height='Average Height'*mean='';

Hi:
I observe the same behavior you do. In fact, it doesn't matter whether I use ^{NEWLINE 1} or just the old form ^n or use 2 title statements, like this:
title1 h=12pt "^{style [textdecoration=underline]2) This is my title}";
title2 h=12pt "^{style [textdecoration=underline]And the second line looks wonky}";
when I use textdecoration=underline in SAS 9.4, it appears that the underline does not stop under the last letter in PDF -- this is different behavior than with RTF or HTML.
I think you need to open a track with Tech Support on this behavior.

Thank you, Cynthia! That's what Tech Support said, too. It is supposed to be fixed in a later SAS release...
