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!

    You need to use Insider Slow to get the 16.15 build right away. Insider Slow is like cutting to the head of the line to get  updates. 16.15 will be rolled out to everyone having AutoUpdate set to Automatic during the next couple weeks

    What build of PowerPoint does it show you having installed? You can find that by going to the PowerPoint > About PowerPoint menu and finding the line that reads "16.xx (xxxxxx)" - what is that full set of numbers?

    My products are up to date. I have automatic updates running and just checked to be sure. There are no additional updates to run but I continue to have this issue with Powerpoint. I used this same 'export to pdf' function last month on the exact same Powerpoint slide with no issues, but am now not able to. Any suggestions?
