I had the same issue, and ended up hard-coding the full css link in the head of the pdf layout. 

eg. <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="http://www.mysite.com/css/styles.css" />

Not the most optimal solution, but it got me up and running.

So I got Ceeram's plugin working on the server (my server admin installed WKHTMLTOPDF - I still haven't got it working on my Mac) and have views rendering as PDFs - top draw, very happy.

Only remaining question is how to render CSS?

I have an existing view that I want to output to PDF. I've looked at Ceeram's plugin and dompdf but they don't hit the mark for me. The existing view is built using elements which are not pulled in and there is no CSS. Am I missing something huge here or is this just really difficult? Do I have to rebuild the view and include the raw code from the elements (which isn't very DRY) and how do I include style sheets?

Any help or guidance is much appreciated.
