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 Anton,

    When we export presentation as a PDF file, we would like to keep the high quality of texts and pictures inserted in the presentation. In this case, the file size may be affected. We have been aware of the situation and will try our best to fix it.

    If you have any question, please feel free to post a new thread in this forum, we are willing to help you separately.

    Thanks,

    Yoga

    "What you are encountering is an expected behavior, which is set by design."

    What is the point of making PowerPoint create large .pdf files (often 8 times the size of the .pptx file) "by design"?
