As I know jsPDF is not working with CSS and the same issue I was facing.
To solve this issue, I used Html2Canvas. Just Add HTML2Canvas JS and then use pdf.addHTML() instead of pdf.fromHTML().
Here's my code (no other code):
var pdf = new jsPDF('p', 'pt', 'letter');
pdf.addHTML($('#ElementYouWantToConvertToPdf')[0], function () {
pdf.save('Test.pdf');
});
Best of Luck!
Edit: Refer to this line in case you didn't find .addHTML()

jspdf does not work with css but it can work along with html2canvas. You can use jspdf along with html2canvas.
include these two files in script on your page :
<script type="text/javascript" src="html2canvas.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jspdf.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function genPDF()
{
html2canvas(document.body,{
onrendered:function(canvas){
var img=canvas.toDataURL("image/png");
var doc = new jsPDF();
doc.addImage(img,'JPEG',20,20);
doc.save('test.pdf');
}
});
}
</script>
You need to download script files such as https://github.com/niklasvh/html2canvas/releases https://cdnjs.com/libraries/jspdf
make clickable button on page so that it will generate pdf and it will be seen same as that of original html page.
<a href="javascript:genPDF()">Download PDF</a>
It will work perfectly.

May 14, 2025 - This guide shows how to import jsPDF(opens in a new tab), reference your JSX with useRef, and export a polished PDF — plus tricks for custom page size, multiple pages, and custom fonts. jsPDF works for basic needs but lacks external CSS support and requires a font converter for non‑standard fonts. If you look at the live demo examples(opens in a new tab) of jsPDF, you’ll see it’s possible to convert images, font faces, font sizes, circles, rectangles, triangles, tables, lines, languages, and more into PDF format. You can also convert HTML into multiple pages with page breaks and add password protection and annotations.
