PDF Don't Export Hidden Layers Option Feature

for some technical works we do, we don't want our manufacturers to see unrelated layers. so this is very important feature to add for us.

    Current functionality covers this with a warning on Export, and the "Printable/exportable" layer setting:

    • The Preflight control in PDF export settings (dialog) shows a warning message when hidden but printable layers are in the to-be-published document/selection.

    • The suggested solution to fix that problem is described in the Preflight warning:


    "To resolve the situation, if you want a hidden layer to be excluded from the final output, open the Object Manager docker and make sure that the "Enable or Disable Printing and Exporting" icon beside the layer name is disabled."
