  Uploading PDFs to Craft3 with Imagick extension enabled seems to rasterize and compress the PDFs.
  
  Also, if I manually swap out the files after upload, it works fine until I have to edit something in an article with a pdf uploaded. Then the behavior is repeated when I press save.
  
  Any idea on where to disable this behavior?

  Got the same problem with Craft3 (3.0.0-beta.19). Had to change the imageDriver to GD.
  
  Add `'imageDriver' => 'gd',` to `config/general.php` and replace/reupload the files in Craft.
