Input Text values to PDF

I have a Visualforce Page, with some input text fields. (There is NO standard or custom object associated with this Page). There is a button 'Generate PDF'. On click of this button, PDF needs to be generated having all the input text values.
How do we send the input text values to the PDF? (PDF is getting generated having only labels, no values) Please let me know!

Thank you for helping me. But sorry, even now, only the labels are getting printed in the PDF. Not the input values.
Any further help?
