The Javascript option may suit, or maybe this...

Have a look at the form used for land transfers in NSW. Go to
http://www.lands.nsw.gov.au/FormsAndFees/Dealings/Interactive/default.htm.
The Transfers link is a PDF of the transfer form (which has a really long
URL). Have a play with the radio buttons in the lower half of the form,
which are cool (or seem so to me).

But importantly for your purposes, observe the PLEASE NOTE!!! message in red
at the top of the form. This message does not print. Neither do the 'Change
Execution' buttons which appear in the lower half of the form when you hit
the radio buttons.

Unfortunately I don't know how they achieve it, but perhaps it's a start for
you. As the Pure Mathematician said, 'there _is_ a solution!' I first
encountered this form last year, before Acrobat 7. In fact, looking at the
properties, I see that it was made with Distiller 4.05 and can be opened by
Acrobat 3 and later, so it's probably quite simple stuff, if you can find it
in the book or the help, or perhaps just by playing with the form in
Acrobat.

If you want to be cheeky, the properties even tell you the name of the
author, so you could ring the Department and ask for that person!
