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.

    On the PC side there are 2 options, Save to pdf and Print to PDF. It appears Mac has the same options. The the "other" method.

    If you don't get a workable fix, then submit this as a bug report to MS using the Feedback process

    .

    ********************************

    ***************** Feedback *************************

    ********************************

    Send Bug Reports and Feature Requests (and even Rants <G>) to MS Developers and Managers using the Feedback Hub:

    LAUNCH FEEDBACK HUB VIA <WIN><F> Shortcut

    “Official” MS does not pay much attention to this forum. However, you now can send your complaints, bug reports and feature requests directly to MS developers and managers using the “Feedback” process described in this link:

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for...

    Please post a share link to your feedback, back here, so other people who find your question will be able to vote for it and add their comments to it.

    How do I give feedback on Microsoft Office?:

    https://support.office.com/en-us/article/how-do...

    This is MS "official" documentation with links to appropriate UserVoice and "Answers" forums.

    ********

    Feedback is a quality control SUPPLEMENT to MS "telemetry" (aka spyware) which MS use to reduce impact of update problems.

    <snip>

    But Microsoft insists its combination of telemetry data and artificial intelligence (AI) actually made this update both "safe and fast", allowing it to identify problems early and block updates to hardware it will cause problems for.

    ...

    Our AI approach has enabled us to quickly spot issues during deployment of a feature update

    ,,,

    We immediately blocked all PCs that could be impacted by this issue from being updated, and communicated to customers within 24 hours, including an initial work around.

    ....

    </snip>

    See this link https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-how-mi...

    for the full article for the above quotes.
