Following is my code which is working fine as a VF page on preview, but no styling adding on rendering as PDF renderAs="PDF". Let me know what I am doing wrong as I am new to the platform.

Code -

<apex:page>
  <!-- Adding CSS -->
  <!-- <apex:stylesheet value="{!URLFOR($Resource.SLDS092, 'assets/styles/salesforce-lightning-design-system-vf.css')}" /> -->

<!-- Latest compiled and minified CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css" />

<!-- Optional theme -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css" />

<div class="container">
<div class="row">
  <div class="col-md-6">.col-md-6</div>
  <div class="col-md-6">.col-md-6</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
  <div class="col-md-8">.col-md-8</div>
  <div class="col-md-4">.col-md-4</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
  <div class="col-md-4">.col-md-4</div>
  <div class="col-md-4">.col-md-4</div>
  <div class="col-md-4">.col-md-4</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
  <div class="col-md-6">.col-md-6</div>
  <div class="col-md-6">.col-md-6</div>
</div>
</div>
</apex:page>

    When you remove render as pdf then bootstrap is available. Also keep in mind that there many css which will not work with renderAs=pdf

You're not going to be able to render PDFs properly that were created with Bootstrap. The Flying Saucer Render engine used by Salesforce only supports CSS 2.1 and HTML 4.1

    To add to this, spurdoc.com will work with bootstrap and create a PDF for you. Only downside is you have to expose the VF page to a public site and maybe create a urlparam key to ensure the page will not display without it to protect the contents (somewhat)

  • Who knows, perhaps the spurdoc.com engine will be what Salesforce winds up finding a way to support in some manner as a means of enabling PDF support for HTML5 and Lightning pages. Will be interesting to see what kind of support for PDFs they eventually come up with.

  • That's correct. No support for PDFs with Lightning. You'll find it in the release notes here under "working with data".
