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.

    Guys, Repsected community, Microsoft, Ladies, Gents,

    F *** F *** S ?!?!?!?!?!

    THE ONLY AND SOLE PURPOSE OF THIS PEICE OF SHI-T SOFTWARE IS TO EDIT DOCUMENTS AND PRINT IT.

    Like all of my work documents are in this PPT crap on Mac , and now you are telling me the microsoft deployed update which renders one single function unsuable?

    Microsoft you must RUN like NOW and FIX T-H-I-S like today !!!

    How stupid do developers in Microsoft have to be to deploy untested update which renders printing impossible for OFFICE PRODUCT  - thats like ONE SINGLE FEATURE WHICH IS USED IN OFFICE - EFFFFING PRINTING !!!

    I confirm that I have exactly the same issue, also I confirm that I refuse to roll back update, because it STUPID,

    Also I confirm that I demand that Microsoft fixes this sheize like now!!!

    I never ever posted on forums like this, because I could not bothered to register and all this, but man this does it, seriously how stupid does a developer have to be to deploye such update like this? Dev has to be stupid and does not give flying single EFFIN F about quality of his work, nor about community and users or products.

    I hope that is clear enough message to deploy fix asap.

    Hi Keris,

    As you described, you are getting low quality images/texts issue when exporting to PDF using PowerPoint for Mac.

    The issue will be fixed soon in future releases, you can wait for the update later. If you are are eager to use it in PowerPoint 2016 for Mac, I would like to share with you the information that it seems to been fixed in latest version of Insider Fast Channel (Version 16.16). You can enroll to the Insider Program via following article and check if it works on you: What is Office Insider?

    Regards,

    Yoga

    Hi Sally,

    This problem was addressed in the 16.15 update.

    You can get this update this week by joining Insider Slow. It's like cutting to the front of the line to get updates.

    What is Office Insider? - Office Support

    If you wait another week or so the 16.15 will be delivered by AutoUpdate if you have chosen automatic updates.
