PLEASE HELP: Cannot print saved .fdf files

I downloaded and saved many .fdf files because I couldn't print the 30 pages at that time.

Now that I'm trying to print them with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, I get the message:

The file you are trying to open is no longer available and cannot be opened.

These files are no longer available online, so I desperately need to be able to access my saved ones.

Any help ASAP would be really appreciated, otherwise I'm in a lot of trouble.

    You can't open or print FDF files on their own. They are just form data. You need to have the actual PDF file that goes with them, open both and then print the merged file.

    Crap, that's what I was afraid of.  

    Thanks for your time anyway, I appreciate the reply.

    Well, if you know the field names in the FDF file then you can create a new PDF and add fields to it with those names.

    Then you will be able to import the data into that file and print it out... You would need Acrobat to do this, though.
