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!

    Yes, I know what the problems are. The question is when is microsoft going to do something about it? Or has it gone to the back of the queue because it only affects Macs?

    This is not just arrows. It blows up the outlines on shapes as well from 1pt to like 4pt. 

    Here's what it looks like in PPT:

    Here's the same file PDF'd:

    Sounds good! Where did you download the update?

    Under the Help drop down in PPT, select check for updates.

    I got a pop up this morning for an update, 16.14.1 (80161302). However, I tried updating, says it's done, then says the same update is still available to download. Not sure why this isn't working for me.

    There is also this page:

    Update history for Office for Mac > https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/update-history-office-for-mac

    Ah dang, typed too soon. This updated didn't fix it for me. :(
