not necessarily. I was editor of a newsletter (generally 12-16 pp) for a dog club (200 members) a few years back. To get the file to the printers, I had to convert the .pub file to .pdf (ie, save it as .pdf). I found a very wide variety of differences between the many free .pdf "print" programs. Some wouldn't render unusual fonts properly. Some messed up photos. And the differences in file size were huge! Also, I got a much smaller size if i chose 'b&w' as the "print" option, even though the entire file *was *in B&W -- never did figure that one out!!
