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 All, 

    I'm using Microsoft Powerpoint 2016  (V16.14.1) and I'm using Apple Mac

    After I export my PPT to PDF some of the icons and images are too blurry (But I inserted a High res Images/Icons). 

    Please give me a feedback or solution who experience the same problem. 

    Thank you,

    Hi all,

    I use Powerpoint 16.14.1 on Mac OS X 10.13.5.

    Printing a line with thickness 1 pt results in a printout with about 6 pt line thickness.

    The print screens show the same slide in PowerPoint and in PDF preview.

    I tried several printers with the same result.

    Any help? Thank you

    Hi aaaa_kkkk,

    I'm writing to follow up Sheen. 

    You can refer to this guide to turn auto-update on Office for Mac to "Manually Check" temporarily. Then uninstall Office 2016 for Mac, and then reinstall Office 2016 for Mac version 10.13.1 via the linkSheen provided.

    Regards,

    Ryan
