# Embed data into PDF forms in React Native

Under the hood, PDF form elements are a type of PDF annotation called “widget” annotations. They’re used to implement interactive form elements, such as buttons, checkboxes, combo boxes, and more.

As such, form data can be embedded into a PDF in the same way that annotations can be embedded. See our guide on [embedding annotations](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/react-native/annotations/save/embed-into-pdf.md) to learn more.
