Answer 1

1. You can use wget to recursively download the entire website:

   wget --recursive --page-requisites --html-extension --no-parent --domains www.fda.gov www.fda.gov

2. You can then use egrep to recursively search through all the files to find which pages link to ucm092156.pdf:

   egrep -r -o '*ucm092156.pdf' www.fda.gov/
