  I finally decided install Adobe Reader 9. It turns out there is a
lot more to this document than a simple 4-page form. Rather, it is a
collection of a dozen inter-dependent forms with various embedded
applications which do things such as saving, validation and copying
data between forms.

  That explains of course, why embedded documents are used.

     Take care
