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 have the same problem but even worst. I see the line spacing all messed up. Some lines have the correct distance between them, some don't, in a randomly fashion. Also, the underlined elements looks terrible: the line is not exactly under the word but it has swifted a bit. Also, the underlines looks way too thick compared to the powerpoint version.

    Any help?

    Easiest solution I have found is to open your PowerPoint with Keynote and primt / export to pdf. There may be some formatting issues between PowerPoint and Keynote but minimal compared to the disastrous result you get by printing from PowerPoint.

    Same issue. Powerpoint version 16.14.1 (180613).

    Please fix -- this has nothing to do with printer driver.

    I have same version on different machines with different print drivers and I have the same issue.
