I can think of two solutions: 1) Create two condition tags (e.g., Draft, Publish) and duplicate every link, once for each style; tag with the appropriate condition and show/hide appropriately before sending to WWPP or Distiller. 2) Publish to WWPP and then use Acrobat File > Create PDF > From Multiple Files or > From Web Page depending on WWPP's output. (Neither is very appealing in terms of workload/maintenance or usability. Can't you just educate your reviewers??)
