Hi Scott,
Thank you for your interest in Essential PDF.
I was able to reproduce the problem with tags and properties with STYLE attribute and CSS. I have modified the bug report regarding this and you can track the status of this issue from the following link.

However,few properties like text-align and color are supported with "Style" attribute.
Here is the sample for your reference.
