You can use ReactDOMServer to render your component to HTML and then use this on jsPDF.

First do the imports:

import React from "react";
import ReactDOMServer from "react-dom/server";

then:

doc.fromHTML(ReactDOMServer.renderToStaticMarkup(this.render()));
doc.save("myDocument.pdf");

renderToStaticMarkup

instead of:

renderToString

As the former include HTML code that react relies on.
