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.

    I'm having the same problem printing a set of slides with charts on. Any text is printing with all the letters overlapping and the graphics at all fuzzy!

    Have tried changing the print options from High to Medium... the text is a little better but the whole thing generally looks rubbish!

    I have also tried exporting or saving as, a PDF.... but when the file is opened it looks like when it's printing our of PP.

    Please fix ASAP! I have to get my document printed and to a client ASAP!!!!

    Thanks

    K Smith
