Already been down that road.  I had actually forgotten that back in 2004-2005 I built an Applescript that toggled the visibility of sets of one or more layers, and exported the selections to Keynote which then exported it to a multi-page PDF.   Unfortunately that was impossible to maintain.

Anyway, if it's not already a feature request I'd very much like it to be. 

In fact, I'd even take it on the iPad version first!
