No, converting PUB to RST does not cause additional quality loss — RST uses lossless compression. However, any artifacts already present in the original PUB file will persist in the RST output.
RST files are typically 2-5x larger than equivalent PUB files because RST preserves all pixel data. This is expected and necessary for lossless quality.
