Razor, why this happens? Shouldn't the compressed output be less?

TombRaider_Beginning.pcf				4.92 GB > 491 MB
TombRaider_Beginning.xtl				4.99 GB > 660 MB

the pcf looks to be normal precomp format
what are your arc.ini settings for xtool?

Can you rerun the test using 0.2, thanks in advance

@Shiv, Ramiro and darkwolves
From my personal experience with crilayla, what darkwolves is saying is right but I'm not going through that source, it's exhausting to translate all that stuff to Delphi, however what Ramiro and Shiv are saying is also correct to a certain extent, it's the same thing, it only differs if the the stream do not start with CRILAYLA, either because they are encrypted or it's just missing, there were a few samples I have received where instead of CRILAYLA header you just find a null header, in this case, xtool approach will not work. But keep up with the debate, it's good.

i been repacking crilayla games for some time now its funny this is like the third time someone has said i was wrong and razor came in later and told them i was right lol

Or maybe there was just a misunderstanding ? Because I can't properly understand what you are trying to say by this :-

the cpk.bms has nothing whatsoever to do with actual inflation it is designed to extract and decompress the file hence the bigger size that is not inflation that is just a result of decompiling the data..

CPK bms by aluigi has the algorithm (comtype cpk) decompression function, the compressed streams are actually decompressed during the extraction process which is equivalent to the inflation done by XTool.

Results made using XTool 0.2 on TombRaider_Beginning.pdf (904 MB)

PDF (904 MB) --> precomp (4.92 GB) --> 4x4:b32m:t4:lzma (550 MB)
PDF (904 MB) --> xtool, c32m (4.98 GB) --> 4x4:b32m:t4:lzma (710 MB)
PDF (904 MB) --> xtool, c256m (5.05 GB) --> 4x4:b32m:t4:lzma (686 MB)

Seems like other pdf files will produce similar differences. Precomp has inbuilt PDF scanner so it is able to properly scan and inflate all the PDF streams hence the better output.

because it is designed to decompile and extract once extracted it no longer even reads as a cpk file until it is recompressed and encrypted with a cpk tool it would take razor forever to be able to read through all that data and try implementing it into xtool

Why would it be able to read as cpk file after extraction ? Its obvious it wont be read as CPK. And as far as I think XTool's crilayla is based on cpk bms thats why there's no x64 build for it.

if it is extracted it needs to be recompressed by a cpk tool the way razor is making it is were the file inflates not extracts he even said above
how exhausting it is to have to translate all of that
