Export by default to PDF as tagged PDF landed in 7.6.0 with backport to 7.5.3

Adjust your the export to PDF dialog and uncheck 'Tagged PDF (add document structure)' and reexport.

Should take care of most size issues, though the PDF export filter has additional changes at 7.6 beyond tagged export by default.  With some adjustments already in place in master against a 24.2.0 release (for bug 157028) which you may want to test as well.
