As Joost says, you will usually get a pbf osm file, import it into a database (I'm using the standard osm2pgsql with latlong for this with hstore, although my QGIS versions requires to create views for selecting hstore fields, which makes it a bit more tedious, in the end I got it working). I'm using latlong because I'm reprojecting on the fly to different systems in different areas. QGIS lets you export / print to raster (png), pdf (AFAIK both, raster and vector, there's an option "print as raster") and svg (not working well, e.g. I had problems with uncropped lines at the border). Depending on your settings (resolution, scale and feature density on the map), it is not a given that a vector representation will produce smaller files in any case (when zoomed in you will usually get smaller files, if there is a lot of detail in a large scale map, you will not see it in the print, but it will inflate your file).
