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.

We sincerely apologize for the experience you had, due to the recent regression! 

This issue has been fixed in Insider Slow channel since build 16.15 (180701) and in Insider Fast channel since build 16.16 (180702), and it should reach the rest of our users soon. Please update your builds and let us know if the problem is not fully resolved.

Again, thank you for helping us improve our product!

Thanks!

    Hi All,

    An update to the Insider Fast channel version 16.16 (180625) has fixed the issue. This fix will slowly trickle down to other channels (Insider Slow as well as Production).

    If you would like to get this release early, you can join the Insider Fast program by referring to the article below:

    Office Insider - Mac

    Regards,

    Sheen

    I can confirm this behaviour for PowerPoint version 16.14.1 (180613) on Mac OS 10.13.5

    I have a slide that looks like this in PowerPoint.

    And it comes out like this in PDFs. This applies for both, PDFs that are created with "Save as...." as well as the Export feature.

    I can confirm the same behaviour for the version before. I was hoping this bug was already fixed in the latest update but it wasn't.

    Could you please hurry up and provide a quick solution. Installing an alpha / insider fast version of Powerpoint is not an option for our organization. PDF export is a core feature and broken.
