I have a C# .NET Windows Form with text fields. The user enters data into this form and once they submit I need to generate a PDF file with their data arranged neatly. What is the best way to do this? Should I move the data into a database or can I directly export to PDF?

There is no need to add it to a database if you don't want to persist the data for later use. There are tons of libraries out there for pdf creation in c#.
Here's a post made not long ago with some great references. It also covers almost the same topic.

Crystalreportobject.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, name + ".pdf");
ExportToDiskMethod can Export directly to PDF
