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.

    I'm just glad I am not the only one having this issue (not that I wish this on anyone). I was able to fix by reverting to an older version and I have told my company IT lead to advise others to avoid the update as well. The other aggravating thing is that every day I am asked to update my PowerPoint to the new "bug ridden" version.
