Problem removing anchor underline using text-decoration

I am trying to make anchor tags (<a>) look like normal text in the pdf by changing the text color to match the text on the rest of the page, and by removing the underlines.

I am trying to do this by adding a style like this:

a {
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
}

The color of the links is changing…but the underlines do not disappear. If I change the value of the text-decoration to ‘line-through’, I get both the underline and the strike through…so I know text-decoration is supported.

The documentation states that a value of ‘none’ is supported by text-decoration.

I am using the Java pro version 380

Thanks for any help.
