First of all Portable Document Format (PDF) is not image - it is a document.
If you need to OCR e.g. pdf was not created without text) you anyway need to convert it to image, and you can do it without Lector (e.g. tool 'convert' from Imagick package.
This could be implemented to Lector, but it increase Lector external dependencies and indeed it did not bring new functionality, so this is a low priority task.
