Sudoku inside a PDF

While on the Adobe Developer Day tour two weeks ago, I was border and picked up the United in flight magazine. I started working on the Sudoku puzzle inside it, and was hooked immediately. Now I see that someone's put the game inside a PDF file. Anyone else with cool PDF games out there?

Hmm, I tried this PDF Sudoku game on both Acrobat Pro 7.0 and Adobe Reader 7.0 on Mac OS X.3. In both cases it worked poorly for me. The contents of the window blanked out and redrew repeatedly, and it was very sluggish to respond to mouse clicks. I gave up.

An interesting idea, but it sure didn't work for me. --Jim DeLaHunt

I haven't had any problems on Win XP with Reader 7. Click once on the squares to bring up a number selector, then double click on the number to put it into the box.

I wonder if they could repeat this as an XFA form?

I prefer to print my puzzles. It's so easy just with a pencil and some paper. By the way: I do like pdf's; it's a greatr improvement from the old style data exchange. :-)
