Okay, that's easy enough to figure out.

Which, if I'm understanding you correctly, just opens the PDF that the FDF
file "points" to, and in the person's browser window, they see the PDF with
the populated form data.

I think *that's* the difference between "Acrobat" and "Acrobat Reader". If
you have "Acrobat" you can save the PDF with the form data intact, and
rename it something else. If you have Reader, you can save the form, but
when you open it up wherever you saved it, it doesn't retain the populated
form data. Or at least that's been *my* experience.
