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.

    Any resolution to this? All of a sudden I'm also having this issue. I save powerpoint to PDF frequently and for the first time my images are very blurry and special text is also blurry. 

    I'm having the same problem when saving the powerpoint (pptx or ppt) as PNG or JPG.
