If you want to make jelly using the juice from the can of pineapple, just buy gelatine powder from your supermarket and follow the directions on the pack. It will tell you how much gelatine to mix with the amount of liquid you need to fill your jelly mold (less the space taken up with the diced pineapple).
The liquid in the can won't be enough; buy a carton or bottle of pure Pineapple Juice to make it up to the amount you need for your jelly mold.
Fresh pineapple contains an enzyme which prevents jelly, Jell-O, or gelatine, from setting. That enzyme is destroyed during the cooking or canning process, so pineapple can be used in jellies.
This also applies to fresh kiwi fruit. If you have fresh, not canned, pineapple or kiwi fruit that you want to set in jelly you'll need to cook the fruit in some way first. The simplest way is to cut the fruit into cubes, the size you want for your jelly, and put it in a container with some water, cover, and microwave until the fruit is steaming.
Uncover and cool slightly; refrigerate until cold: now you're ready to make jelly.

What happens when you add fresh pineapple juice to jello?
Due to the bromelain enzyme in fresh pineapple, the jello will not set. Jello has the protein gelatin in it, and the bromelain prevents the gelatin molecules to bond with other gelatin molecules. If you make two molds of jello, one with pineapple, one without, you will find that only the one without pineapple will set. If you use canned pineapple, the jello will set because canned products are heated to eliminate microbes, but it also destroys or greatly reduces the amount of enzymes present.
How could you successfully make jello with pineapple in it?
You have to cook the pineapple first. Jello won't solidify if you add fresh pineapple.Because pineapples contain proteases, enzymes that break down proteins. Since jello mixes are mostly made of collagen from animal parts, or proteins, pineapples break them down to their simplest forms. When you boil pineapple, it denatures the protease and you should be able to make pineapple jello then.
