OK. Is iText present on both server and client?

You can, but may not send the private key over the internet
(the private key should be kept private: i.e. it should never
leave the client's machine), so you will have to bring the
PDF to the client side.

You say you have an application running on the client.
Then let the Client application download the PDF,
let iText sign the PDF, then send the signed PDF to
the server (if necessary).

Maybe you're not explaining the situation well enough;
but I don't see the problem.
