Components are a completely separate set of tags and functionality than that of VF.  Perhaps someone else will correct me, but I don't believe this is supported in Lightning, at least yet.  Instead, you could either use a visualforce page that is rendered as a PDF and then reference that in your lightning component via javascript, or use a third party JavaScript PDF library such as https://parall.ax/products/jspdf

yes you are right James. Salesforce Lightning does not supports pdf rendering right now. May be they will include it in further releases.

Thanks & Regards,

Were you able to make it work? I am trying to build a similar feature but I cannot find any documentation.
