I'm confused about the question, the text above makes it sound like you are trying to convert \f\n to \f but the sed example makes it look like you are trying to convert \f\n to \n.

If it's the latter, then the problem is that sed doesn't see the \n characters, they are implied at the end of each line. So just use:

s/\f$//

Instead. The $ matches the end of the line.
