I loaded the image into GIMP and made a very small change to the image.
I would like to save the file once again as a .pdf file and NOT LOSE ANY image quality.
The file sent to me was approx. 4M. When I save the file in GIMP the file size becomes approx. 312K, or less than 1/10 the size of the original file. When I look at the two images, the GIMP image has lost quality.
Can someone please tell me how I can do this? Thanks!

More info.
I also have the same image file as a .tiff file (coming from Photoshop).
When I open the file in GIMP and edit it (small edit) I can save it as a .tiff
and the file size remains the same! Approx. 4M.
But, when I try to save it as a .pdf file, the file size becomes approx. 312K !
How did my friend save it in Photoshop as a 4M .pdf file,
and how can I save it in GIMP as a 4M .pdf file?
Okay, I am no expert but TIFF is an uncompressed bitmap format. If you are using the File | Export As option in GIMP to get the PDF, one of the default selections is to convert bitmaps for vectors. Have you tried unchecking that?
