There is supposed to be a reduction in file size. Like jpeg, paa/pac is a (lossy) compressed file format.

What size is your tga, in terms of number of pixels?

ofp (or textviev like here) support sizes 8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024,2048... you can convert textures into paa/pac only in this sizes.for a sample 1024x128 etc.

And instead of using Texview for the conversion, you should use the utility made by feersum.endjinn : PAA Tool.

You can find it in this thread

When i retextured for private usage some units, PAA Tool has converted tga textures into paa/pac with a better result, there were less compression artefacts ingame than when i was using Texview.

But , at the origin you need to have your tga in 32 bits , PAA Tool will not convert a 16 bits tga .
