First, in javascript you can get your input from the HTML by using javascript/JQuery

var input = document.getelementbyid("#id").value

or

var input = $("#id").val()

Then proceed like explained in the example of the topic (Generating PDF files with JavaScript)

var doc = new jsPDF()

doc.text(input, 10, 10)
doc.save('a4.pdf')

Use an id for each input of your form -> Upon validation, get the value(s) with JS or Jquery using the id(s) of the input(s) -> Generate the PDF using the jsPDF library
