I can think of one possibility, The default resolution for opening a PDF has changed from 100 ppi to 300 ppi. This is to prevent users opening a PDF as a low quality image.
The reported size in real world units inches / centimetres / remains as originally specified.
This 8" x 10" from an old Gimp has a saved file size of 206 KB If the ppi is not changed to to suit, it opens at 300 ppi Edited and re-exported it is now 2.2 MB on disk. Some 9 times larger (300% horizontal x 300% vertical).
Yes, that is the most likely reason for significantly bigger exported pdf files. If I change the resolution from 300.000 to 100.100 while opening a pdf file, the exported pdf file will be around 400 Kb, like with the previous versions of Gimp. Thanks for explaining this.
Is there a way to change this default setting for Resolution in gimp settings so that there is no need to specify a lower resolution every time one opens a pdf file?
