Exported pdf files are significantly bigger than before
#3
@ BlueRay

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).
