Converting the pdf|ps|dvi file to images is exactly what your favourite viewer does. The problem with doc-view-mode is that it converts *all* pages on the document to image *files* which are left on some place of the hard disk. If doc-view-mode supported the conversion of just the current page to be displayed on the screen, without leaving behind thousands of image files, it would be a decent document reader.
