Using slds in visualforce when rendering as a PDF

Does anyone know of any way to use slds in visual force when rendering the page as a pdf?
It keeps the formatting but the sytle is not applied.

Any Ideas?

I am really sorry to say rederas="pdf" doesn't support any extenal css. You have to use inline css to render VF page as pdf.

Hi @matthew Cavalier,

Did you find any solution? As per my understanding we cannot add external css for page as pdf.

Thanks

You are correct. After digging around I found that the only way to add css is to either have it as internal css or inline css.

Yes, this is what I researched when worked on PDF few months back. 

If my suggestion helps you, then can you please mark this question as solved and mentioned my comments as best answer so that it will help others in future to choose correct answer.

I do want to add that it looks like Salesforce is adding advanced pdf rendering in their Summer '17 release, though only in a pilot program, which "renders Visualforce pages as PDF files with broader support for modern HTML standards, such as CSS3, JavaScript, and HTML5. This change applies to both Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic".
