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.

    Sometimes your office apps may act in unexpected ways and it becomes necessary to perform a repair of your office installation

    To repair office applications please see the following steps.

    In the search bar type "Apps & Features"
    Click Microsoft Office in the list of installed applications
    Then click "Modify"
    On the resulting dialog, click 'Repair' - choose the online repair, it is a comprehensive fix

    If you have two or more instances of office installed on your system

    You can run the Easy Fix tool to remove previous versions

    If you are having difficulty activating your installation of MS Office you can use the Activation Troubleshooter
    https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Unlice...

    I hope this helps. Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

    Hello,

    In the most recent PPT update, when you try and print or convert to PDF, lines get oversized and images become distorted.

    Is there a way to fix this bug? Its happening across six team members within the firm.

    Thank you.

    Hi G,

    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
