Did you write any Java code?
If not, you shouldn't expect anything to work.

Did you compile any code?
If so, where did you put your classes?

Did you write a Servlet?
Did you declare it in your web.xml?
If so, which exception is thrown?

How did you compile your Java file to a class file?
How did you write your code? Did you use an IDE?
Which one? Eclipse? NetBeans? Something else?
Didn't the IDE and the compiler ask for the jar?

Did you try writing a standalone example?

The fact that I can ask that many counter-questions that
make sense, is a good indication that you should clarify
your question.

If you are a Java developer, you know how to install iText.
It's a jar just like any other jar. Just like the ones you
create yourself for any of your projects.

If you are not a Java developer (which is what almost any
subscriber on this list will assume because that's implied
in your 'HowTo install iText' question), you should first
try to use a jar in a standalone example. Once that works,
you're ready to move on to a web application. You should
install Tomcat and have a look at the examples that come
with tomcat.
