Converting Website page to PDF and including Macromedia Flash component

I am very new to PDFs and before now all that I did with PDFs is read them. I now have 7.0 Professional and I want to save a PDF to my hard drive from the Internet. Can I save a Macromedia Flash component from a website along with the website page?
 
I have gone to a website and I've converted the page to a PDF on my hard drive. It looks great, however, the Macromedia Flash component on the page from the website doesn't seem to have been converted or moved to my hard drive. Related, when I use my 7.0 Professional to view my PDF of that website page, it tells me I have a Macromedia Flash component and asks me if I wish to play it. When I indicate yes, then my computer screen sits forever running the "buffering" box and never completing this "buffering" task.
 
I am really new to this and any and all comment will be appreciated greatly.
 
Thank you.

New Windows security features and updates do not allow users to edit files unless the authoring application is installed on their hard drive. You may have to purchase Flash to edit the Flash component. Here's a link to Flash Paper (under $80.00) that you might consider as an alternative.
