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 latest updates to PowerPoint have rendered the program useless to me. I use PowerPoint for teaching, and students are provided with PDF files of my lectures (in 2/page format, 3/page format, and 4/page format). These exported PDF files are such poor resolution, they are unreadable by the students. This means I will have to start from scratch with a new program that has usable exported PDFs. I don't understand why Microsoft does not seem to feel this is an issue that is need of correction.

    I can't download 16.13.1. The download links are only for the latest version of Powerpoint. Is there some way to get the older version of the program to correct this problem?

    Thanks, Rohn007.

    In Mac version is slightly different.

    The problem, I reckon, is with the updated version of the Office.
