Can I set up a PDF with a "view" version and separate "print" version?

I'd like to distribute a color-heavy PDF to my clients, but would like it print as a version without heavy ink coverage... in essence 2 versions. Is this possible?

You can do this with layers: Have one layer only for printing, and the second one for viewing the file. Take a look at these layer properties:

Layer properties

As you can see, this layer is marked as "never visible" and "always prints". For the layer that is used for viewing, just reverse these settings.
