Let me rephrase the question. On a financial site, it offers tax form in fdf 
format. This form in turns refers to a pdf file. Apparently, the pdf is a 
blank form and the fdf contains customized data. When combined, they form 
the full document.

Unfortunately, this document can only be viewed online. When I attempt to 
save, acrobat reader says it can only save the blank form.

I found that I can also download the fdf and the pdf files individually as 
local files. But when I open the fdf file, it still wants to read the online 
copy of the pdf form file. Is there a way to either
(1) patch the fdf file so that it finds the local pdf form
(2) combine the two files into one pdf file that I can save and view
