Even when PDF export quality is set to high - the images on the PPT are blurry when using PDF export.  The images are fine in the PPT itself.

Choose Help>Check for Updates and in that dialog, check Join the Office Insider program to get early access to new releases. Then choose Office Insider Slow for fairly well-tested code or Office Insider Fast for advanced features with more bugs. Don't choose the latter on a computer you use to get work done.

We sincerely apologize for the experience you had, due to the recent regression! 

This issue has been fixed in Insider Slow channel since build 16.15 (180701) and in Insider Fast channel since build 16.16 (180702), and it should reach the rest of our users soon. Please update your builds and let us know if the problem is not fully resolved.

Again, thank you for helping us improve our product!

Thanks!

    I can't download 16.13.1. The download links are only for the latest version of Powerpoint. Is there some way to get the older version of the program to correct this problem?

    Thanks, Rohn007.

    In Mac version is slightly different.

    The problem, I reckon, is with the updated version of the Office.

    Dear Yoga, 

    1. I have Version 16.14.1 installed (Build 180613). The Bug HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. I just exported a 16MB powerpoint into a 23MB pdf. Please do not raise the hopes of those filled with desperation, it is cruel and unusual punishment
    2. I was not asking for you to provide any third party tools, but e.g. tell us that this is what we need (you did not do that) and suggest ways to find them (e.g. BING which I hear has some sort of connection to you, right?)

    So, in your latest message you have

    • provided false information creating false hope. Not good, at least in my book.
    • failed to acknowledge your error in not providing relevant and helpful information (like the smile button) 6 month ago, but just now.

    All in all, you again made a mockery of the statement "we value each member's feedback, trying our best to minimize impact etc". While unsolicited and free and hence possibly worthless, I would offer advise to have better alignment of your actions with your words when telling your significant other or your mom "I value your feedback and do my best to minimize the impact of any issues". 

    Coming back to your own personal values, treat us how you would want to be treated for a product you bought. And if your bosses dont allow that minimal level of honesty and truthfulness, find a boss who does.
