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.

    Hi Shelley,

    For the issue you mentioned, we have a separate thread which you can follow:

    Oversized arrows when printing in PowerPoint

    The workaround should work as the issue started on 16.14.

    @JKozicky,

    You would need to install 16.13.1 and not 16.14 if you would like to work around the issue.

    Regards,

    Sheen
