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.

    Hi Wohnen3,

    Based on your description, when you export inserted lines shape in PowerPoint to PDF, they will be thicker. We have contacted the related team for the issue for further investigation. Additionally, we kindly suggest you subscribe to the following thread. For any updates, we will post there. To let other community members see the information clearly, we will lock this thread.

    I am working with architectural views in PP, that are showing fine lines and patterns. Since the last update this morning all lines are 3 or 4 times thicker and the visual impression is broken! I tried all possible ways for pdf-export and even tried to change in Acrobat Pro, but nothing works at all. I'm waiting for a further update, fixing this problem promptly, please!

    With version 16.14.1 PowerPoint Mac to PDF export is broken. Fonts, Lines are wrong and super low image quality. Before the update I was able to export high quality PDFs.
