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!

    Dear Mr. Jones,

    Thank you for your reply. The point is that it also happens with new files, and hence you probably have not experienced this. In any case, the link the file is:

    <iframe src='https://onedrive.live.com/embed?cid=1BA0471F26C13153&resid=1BA0471F26C13153%21512&authkey=ACbO3F-G7VOZgv4&em=2&wdAr=0.6925925925925925' width='300px' height='286px' frameborder='0'>This is an embedded <a target='_blank' href='https://office.com'>Microsoft Office</a> presentation, powered by <a target='_blank' href='https://office.com/webapps'>Office Online</a>.</iframe>

    If this does not work, what is another way of sharing this file with you?

    If not the file (likely), nor the release, where to search?

    Thanks much!

    Han

    Hi.

    It's gonna be a very very long wait....

    Interim solution is to get a 3rd party app.

    Cheers.

    While we wait for the fix...

    The alternative, if you have a Office 365 subscription, is to open the file in PowerPoint Online and Download As PDF. The PDF file will be significantly smaller. 

    Regards,

    Ziyaad

    Is the file personal or security risk or contain business details that should not be shown. If not, put it on One Drive and provide a Link. 

    Its possible it may be a Printer issue.  I have the same version. So if it is a problem with the release; I should have the same effect.
