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.

    It's random in that I can't find an associated between the image file type (e.g., jpg or png) and also trying to find a consistency. By that I mean that some images, created at the same time and same screen captures off mobile device, are different and randomized and blurred in reproduction in the PDF.

    PDF is Continuous Build 2019.009.20050

    Architecture: x86_64

    Build: 18.9.20050.254034

    AGM: 4.30.72

    CoolType: 5.14.5

    JP2K: 1.2.2.39492

    I did copy all the slides into a new PPT. The same images are blurred. But, surprisingly, 'not as much.' There is a very subtle, subtle difference, but the copy and paste version is minutely sharper.

    I've sent Neha images separately. Regrettably, it is impossible to remove confidential information in a way that I"m comfortable with. Hopefully DPK can provide his.

    This is exactly my problem.  It was working fine before the update!!!! Microsoft needs to fix this immediately.  On my screen its fine.  My jpeg looks beautiful on the monitor.  It's only when I print it from Powerpoint.  I haven't checked other apps.
