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!

    Totally agree. Should have been rolled back for all users, rather than forcing us to figure it out for ourselves. Imagine the cost of the time lost for all users worldwide who had to fight this problem before rolling back to the previous version.  Absolutely, completely hopeless.

    Could not agree more, it is atrocious. There seems to be no sense of urgency in fixing this - ridiculous. Our Operations team are now reviewing a Keynote rollout option

    Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for posting in our forum.

    Regarding to this behavior, we have contacted our related team for further investigation. There are some users report that there is a workaround that changing Hight to Medium for the Print Quality in PowerPoint>Preferences>General. You may have a try at it to see whether it works for you.

    Moreover, we kindly suggest you subscribe to the following thread. For any updates, we will post there. To let other community members see the information clearly, we will lock this thread.
