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.

    How can you tell - exports vector files as bitmap - ? Powerpoint don't offer PDF options when exporting as Adobe and his suite?

    (Had to switch to Keynote. Can't wait. Big presentation to print! Keynote is highly reliable with quality image and fonts. Could open PowerPoint with Keynote and export a Keynote to PowerPoint.)

    Over a week and still no solution to such a wide spread problem??? Most of our company marketing is done using these programs and therefore we are stuck trying to figure out time consuming work arounds in order to keep our files updated.  This is ridiculous.
