Worse: it converts it to a set of PNG. There is some support for
searching, but Emacs doesn't see the text really (other than as an
image), so Emacspeak won't b able to do anything useful with it.
So indeed, you'll be much better off going through something like HTML.
BTW, I think many people (including myself) would be interested in an
alternative to doc-view-mode which renders such documents as (decorated)
text rather than as images, e.g. going through HTML and then rendered
with shr.el.
