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.

    The temporary solutions I found is to upload the file to the cloud (e.g. OneDrive) and then convert to PDF from the browser. This approach has worked without problems.

    That is a good point... probably even easier will be to build my future presentations in keynote or google slides which don't seem to experience these sorts of sloppy problems in the first place - I'm amazed that Microsoft with its budget or app development can't solve these issues - must be serious bugs in their systems - can't see PPT lasting more than a few years from here or even have our team work on the same PPT at the same time. amazing!!
