A few weeks ago I updated all the programs on my manjaro Linux laptop, including gimp. Today I used this updated gimp and tried to make some small changes to a PDF file and then to export it again as PDF.
On this latest version of gimp (2.10.36) such an exported PDF file turned out to have 3.7 Mb.
On the previous version of gimp (2.10. 28) the same pdf file with the same adjustments and settings when exported as pdf has only about 475 Kb.
Everyone can probably replicate the same thing if you open a smaller PDF file in gimp 2.10.36 (let's say around 400 Kb) and even without any changes export that same file as PDF. The exported file will be significantly larger than the original. However I presume that this might happen only with PDF files that contain scanned images. I haven't experimented with plain text PDF files.
I wonder why this change was introduced into the latest gimp version which is available for the installation on manjaro (2.10.36)? It doesn't make sense to have a significantly larger file which is not better in any way than the smaller one from previous versions of gimp.

I want to make a watermark on the image with big transparent letters.
Here is what I did:
I opened my image with gimp.
I created a text box. I typed the text of watermark.
Now how can I make this text transparent and rotate it so it becomes like a watermark?
Or tell me please how to do a watermark properly, if I am not on the right track...
