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.

    This problem should be fixed by installing the 16.15 update

    To get this update first, join Insider Slow. It should be available by the 2nd week of July. If you want it right away, join Insider Fast.

    In PC version there is an option you can try, hopefully it is in the Mac version too.

    File menu > Option command > Advanced option > Image Size and Quality section. Turn on the "Do not compress images in file"

    also set "Default Resolution" to "High Fidelity"

    This problem should be fixed in the upcoming 16.15 update.

    You can get this update first by joining Insider Slow. It's like cutting in line to get the next update early. It should be available by the 2nd week of July. If you want it right away, join Insider Fast.
