Why not? Lots of file types are compressible to a large extent! I even have a 14 MB file that extracts to 2.5 GB!

See basically, the PDF you might have, would have consisted mostly of text with very few pictures. ASCII packs very well. If you really need to know how compression works, read up here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression

Actually thats possible! Just make a text file consisting of only a single char repeated billions of times, till the file size reaches 4.8 GB. Then try to compress it. It will have a *very* good compression ration. Such files are called decompression bombs.

Never heard of 14MB decompressing to 2.5gb.
yes it is possible to compress largely. I use 7-zip btw.
