My idea: have it so every time the document is opened the names are randomly scrambled. I don't think this would work with PDF or on paper but it's a fun idea

Edit: While it wouldn't work decently on paper, this would work with E-Ink display, and instead have it change every few seconds while the paper is being read.

It wouldn't work with PDF, but probably would work with Postscript (being that it's Turing-complete).

(I say "probably" because I don't know for a fact that Postscript's API has a random function.)

You can embed javascript or 3D objects in PDF, surely you can reorder some words
