No.

If you use dvi as final format you can use dvips with the -pp option
to specify the page range, if you use .pdf use acroreader to specify
the page range for printing.
Don't know about sections, looks difficult to me.

Perhaps he could define an environment like "pdfsection" which will
be a section in pdf and ignored in dvi.

Right, that is what I would call difficult. Maybe the OP should tells
us what he really wants to do.

This makes no sense. LaTeX is mainly intended for creating hard-copy
documents (printing). The fact that *some* people don't actually waste
actually trees is a relatively recent innovation. I *suppose* one could
test to see if tex4ht or pdflatex was used to process the document and
include (or not include) selected bits, but on some level this really
won't work. A PDF file (meant for printing) might never land on paper
and a .html version (meant for viewing), might get itself converted to
PDF later or just printed via the "Print" button on the viewer used to
view the HTML file.
OTOH, if by viewing you mean viewing the LaTeX source, that is easy, you
can include a block of text with '%'s and I believe there are some
macros / environments that will also do that as well. Of course, some
clever person can also send the LaTeX source to the printer without
actually processing it at all...

If the text fits on a page you can put it in a PDF annotation with the
Invisible flag (or whatever it's called) set.
I second Maarten's comment that if you tell us what you *really* want to
do someone might be able to offer a better suggestions.

in acrobat it is possible to set an image property to "don't print".
I want to only show the image.

Okay, so just use pdflatex to produce a .pdf file and use acrobat to
suppress some pages.
Still puzzled, hope this answers your question.

I don't know a good way to suppress printing while preserving screen
display. You may find the following kludge (using a PDF Stamp
annotation) good enough for your needs. Note that not all PDF viewers
honor the "don't print" mechanism. (In fact, probably only Acrobat
does.)
