InDesign has Conditional text, which is useful for documents with multiple of languages or versions. You can produce a somewhat similar result in Illustrator by using layers. Add the image text on separate layers and save as a PDF using the Illustrator default settings, this will include all layers from Illustrator, visible or not. In Acrobat or Reader, you can turn the layer visibility on or off as desired. Note, not all PDF viewers respect PDF layers.
