Using Servlets or Java Server Pages would be the most straight forward
method of using a Java library, like iText,  to create PDFs on a web server.
It might be possible to make calls from some other scripting language,
supported on your server, to Java. It depends on the scripting language.
I've seen all kinds of home grown interfaces between runtime environments
too, but that can get messy. Of course, there are other tools to create PDFs
that aren't Java. Depends on what scripting languages your web server
supports and what programming tools you wish to use.

Subject: [iText-questions] servlets and pdf


Is the only way to create pdf's on a webserver is through the use of
servlets?
I can locally create a pdf, but on a web server I cannot create the pdf.
