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 also wish to add my voice to those upset about this issue.

    My PPT does not convert well to any format for printing - PDF, JPG, PNG.

    It is shocking if the problem is lack of planning and insight by the Microsoft team. We expect better from you guys. 

    When will this be fixed, how is this possible that the only option is to revert to an older version!?

    If you're experiencing a new issue which your post seems to indicate please create a new thread and provide as much detail as possible about the problem you are seeing. The latest Insider Slow update for Mac was released yesterday and it should include a fix for the issue users were seeing with thick lines when printing.
