Is this intended or is > this a bug? I tested a before an after of the clinical exam example. It was ~147kb to 148kb in both the new (pil2) and the former (windowspil) parsers. While this may not be the reason for the increased filesize of your documents that you have, some possibilities are: (1) Your documents have some full-size linked, pannable images. In the former parser, this feature was broken for the last few months, so the full sized versions wouldn't be included, and thus have smaller filesizes. If you don't want full-sized linked versions, there is a radio button for that in channel dialog > images tab > only include thumbnail. (2) When the former parser would convert a color picture down to a black and white, the result would often be just a bit single black part of picture, looking like spilled ink. That black part, though not much to look at, would probably compress well, since it has long stretches of repeating color pixles in a row. The new parser converts images down to a nicer dither, for example black and white versions of photos are actually readable instead of a big black blob. However, since it is now no longer a ink blot, but alternating white and black pixels, that image would be larger when compressed.
