Post the form data to a servlet.

Okay. Does the answer remain the same if the Java code that I want to run does nothing but generate a PDF file containing the information submitted in the form?
Also, I don't know how to have the form information contained in PDf file which to be generated.

Yes, you can generate PDFs from servlets just fine. You'll need some PDF libraries like iText for creating the pdf

I downloaded the iText jar file, but I don't know where exactly should I put it.

It should end up in your web application's WEB-INF/lib.
If this is your first web application the you should start with a tutorial on servlets and JSPs
