I have a document with many figures; I want to print a short version of it with some figures hidden, but I would like that the global numbering of figures remain the same, and that labels still works. Here is a MWE:
documentclassarticle
usepackagegraphicx
begindocument
Figure reffigure1 shows ldots
beginfigure[ht]
centering
includegraphics[width=5cm]figure1.jpg
captionlabelfigure1
endfigure
Figure reffigure2 shows ldots
beginfigure[ht]
centering
includegraphics[width=5cm]figure2.jpg
captionlabelfigure2
endfigure
enddocument
Then I would like to hide figure 1 from PDF output, but label figure1 should still work, and the second picture should still be numbered as 2. Is it possible?
I tried with the comment environment but it does not work.

if i correctly understood your question, than adding%beforeincludegraphicsis what you looking for. for examplebeginfigure[ht] centering % includegraphics[width=5cm]figure1.jpg captionlabelfigure1 endfigure

Yes, but my goal is to have one version of my document, and by switching one option in the preamble, it would turn on/off some less important figures.

It would be best to put these possibly-invisible figures inside their own environment. That way you can control how they are managed. Below I suggest something like conditionalfigure together with hidefigurestrue to hide them, or hidefiguresfalse (the default) to keep them in the document.
documentclassarticle
usepackagegraphicx,environ
newsaveboxfigsavebox% Box to capture figure content
newififhidefigures % Conditional to hide figures or keep them in the document
NewEnvironconditionalfigure[1][ht]%
ifhidefigures
% Hide this figure
letoldlabellabel
renewcommandlabel[1]gdeflabelname##1% Store label name
renewcommandcaption[1]##1% Make caption just print its argument
beginlrboxfigsavebox
BODY % Capture enture figure body
endlrbox
refstepcounterfigureoldlabellabelname% Step counter with reference and mark with label
else
% Traditional figure environment
beginfigure[#1]
BODY
endfigure
fi
begindocument
hidefigurestrue % Remove conditional figures from document
%hidefiguresfalse % Keep conditional figures in document (default)
Figure reffigure1 shows ldots
beginconditionalfigure[ht]
centering
includegraphics[width=5cm]example-image-a
captionlabelfigure1
endconditionalfigure
Figure reffigure2 shows ldots
beginfigure[ht]
centering
includegraphics[width=5cm]example-image-b
captionlabelfigure2
endfigure
enddocument
Capturing the entire conditionalfigure contents ensures that it doesn't impede with the placement of floats within the document, otherwise the "invisible" float may still take up space above/below it.

Whyresizebox? You could as well just put the stuff inbox0and never output it.

Yes, your output is what I want, but it doesn't work on my computer, figure 1 is still visible with bad alignment.

Something likesetbox0hbox.... The 0 box register is often used for temporary stuff (e.g. bysmashand the like). Stuff which is typed in asetboxis fully evaluated and stored in the specified box register, but not output (you can then output it byunhboxin case of ahbox, orunvboxforvbox; there are other methods of outputting them, the simplest beingbox, all of the aforementioned require you to specify a box register, e.g. 0 or the name of anewboxornewsavebox, the latter being the LaTeX macro, the former TeX).

If the caption should still produce an entry in the LoF, one could use the following (with kind help of @DavidCarlisle on the immediatewrite part). The only problem is that if two floats happen to be on the same page and one of them is hidden, the order of the entries in the LoF might get swapped.

Is this what you are looking for? Using resizebox and minipage you can make the includegraphics and caption have zero height.

Whyresizebox? You could as well just put the stuff inbox0and never output it.

Yes, your output is what I want, but it doesn't work on my computer, figure 1 is still visible with bad alignment.

@Skillmon I've not heard ofbox0before. How would you use it in this context?

I managed to obtain your output by changingresizebox!0cmtoresizebox!0.000001cm; strange that it doesn't work with0cm...

Something likesetbox0hbox.... The 0 box register is often used for temporary stuff (e.g. bysmashand the like). Stuff which is typed in asetboxis fully evaluated and stored in the specified box register, but not output (you can then output it byunhboxin case of ahbox, orunvboxforvbox; there are other methods of outputting them, the simplest beingbox, all of the aforementioned require you to specify a box register, e.g. 0 or the name of anewboxornewsavebox, the latter being the LaTeX macro, the former TeX).

Something like
setbox0hbox.... The 0 box register is often used for temporary stuff (e.g. by smash and the like). Stuff which is typed in a setbox is fully evaluated and stored in the specified box register, but not output (you can then output it by unhbox in case of a hbox, or unvbox for vbox; there are other methods of outputting them, the simplest being box, all of the aforementioned require you to specify a box register, e.g. 0 or the name of a newbox or newsavebox, the latter being the LaTeX macro, the former TeX).– Skillmon

If the caption should still produce an entry in the LoF, one could use the following (with kind help of @DavidCarlisle on the immediatewrite part). The only problem is that if two floats happen to be on the same page and one of them is hidden, the order of the entries in the LoF might get swapped.

if i correctly understood your question, than adding

Yes, but my goal is to have one version of my document, and by switching one option in the preamble, it would turn on/off some less important figures.
