In Greg's example as I understand it a layer is omitted from the pdf export. On my current project I excluded the layer I use for most graphics from printing. I exported the file to a pdf. The graphics included in that layer did not show up in the pdf when I checked it in Okular. But graphics placed in the remaining layer did show up in Okular.
