Pdf games? Do you have an example you could send me, perhaps? I'm really curious.

The ones I played were adventure games, basically a bunch of areas (implemented as pages) linked by buttons, with some extra logic thrown in. If you can imagine the kind of scripting capabilities you'd need to run a PowerPoint style presentation from a PDF file, and the kind of scripting you'd need to make sophisticated interactive forms, you're on the write track.

Unfortunately I don't know what the games I played were called.
