If not dealing with checked bags and if the boarding passes for GRU-PDP have been issued, it is possible to skip Brazil immigration and use transit security checkpoint. If checking bags, I'm not certain how it works.
I came in on UA and transferred to Ethiopian international to international a few months back, very simplistic procedure. Did a tour of the lounges as well as I had an eight hour layover purposely planned for a workday. International transfer gates were empty and a very smooth process
