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.

    I'm facing the same problem and was forced to roll-back to version 15.41 as a work-around. As we're working with Windows systems and Macs in the office, it was easy to recognise that this is only happening on Mac's. My Mac is running MacOS Sierra (version 10.12.6).

    It's a little strange for such a common function (printing or printing to PDF) not to work in a Microsoft Powerpoint.

    Having the same issue. Trying to export to PDF and the lines are out of control. 

    Found a quick fix exporting every slide into JPEGs and then compiling everything in acrobat.

    Not the best solution, but if you are in a hurry should help you out a bit.

    Office 365 Professional providing 2016 suite Office apps for Windows and Mac. Noticed that since update 6.14.1, when printing or exporting PowerPoints, charts, tables, shapes, lines, and underlines are bolded. This has proven problematic for some users trying to print slides to make revisions on paper. 

    This problem is not present on Windows, but seems like a pretty big bug.

    Has anyone else noticed this?
