Is the PDF you're looking at compressed?  SPLTOOL uses no

No, the pdf is not compressed. It is all just plain ASCII text. If the data weren't sensitive I would paste an example.

I've run tests before and around there it seems to fill up.
It's not just the data, it's all the PDF data as well.  So
for each page you can add more.

Right, the XREF contains an entry for every object in the PDF. Is a 3,000 page pdf really around 10GB in size? I'm talking about a print file that was originally an SCS file. What's taking up all the space?
