Non-printing Colors Insist on Printing!

I've got some text that I need to cross-reference in a TOC, but I don't want
it to print in the document where it resides. I've been hiding it in the
margin, with font color white. Of course, there I times that I do want to
view the text for editing, and I have to change the color of the text to
something visible for those times I need to read it.
But I just noticed that you can define a color and set its definition to
"Print As: Don't Print." It sounds perfect! I could assign a color to this
text that I could see, but it wouldn't show up in PDFs-- or so I thought. I
created a color called "NoPrint" and assigned it as follows:
Color Definition: NoPrint
Print As: Don't Print
Model: CMYK
C: 0
M: 60
Y: 80
K: 0
Overprint: Knock Out
Despite being set to "Don't Print," when I print to PDF, the text shows up
in PDFs and prints from the PDF, too. Aargh! How can I make non-printing
text NOT print? Anyone else have this problem?
