It does, but hardly anybody makes use of it - you either get a document
containing only scanned pages (and possibly some form of contents menu), or a
document containing "plain text" where the original scans have been thrown
away. It's very rare that the two are seen combined, presumably because
outside of the context of historical preservation there's no real
justification to do so; in those cases the raw content itself is more
important than how it's actually arranged.

Storage
availability and data transfer rates are so much better than they
once
were. I can't help but feel that at some
point the best formats are going
to
encapsulate both scanned images and raw text -
the images will be as
faithful
reproductions of the original as possible
(greyscale, and including full
colour where necessary) whilst each page also has a plain-text transcribed
version attached.
Adobe Acrobat does that for ages...
