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!

    If you change to the update drop down to Office Insider Fast, I was able to get 16.15.1 and this issue is not present in that new release.

    Others have reported that this problem is fixed in version 16.15, which is available for Insider Fast. This version will soon be Insider Slow and by the middle of next month a future build of 16.15 will become the general release build.

    It would be helpful if you (or anyone else affected) want to test this version right now and reply with your experience - is it really fixed?

    Hi Olivier,

    We apologize for the inconvenience it caused. Recently we have received some reports about it.

    For the low texts & image quality issue, we also set a primary thread:

    PowerPoint export to PDF has tons of formatting issues

    To help other members to easily see the information in this thread, we will be locking this thread from further posting. Thanks for your understanding.

    Best Regards,

    Tisky
