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 Sally,

    This problem was addressed in the 16.15 update.

    You can get this update this week by joining Insider Slow. It's like cutting to the front of the line to get updates.

    What is Office Insider? - Office Support

    If you wait another week or so the 16.15 will be delivered by AutoUpdate if you have chosen automatic updates.

    Hi Keris,

    As you described, you are getting low quality images/texts issue when exporting to PDF using PowerPoint for Mac.

    The issue will be fixed soon in future releases, you can wait for the update later. If you are are eager to use it in PowerPoint 2016 for Mac, I would like to share with you the information that it seems to been fixed in latest version of Insider Fast Channel (Version 16.16). You can enroll to the Insider Program via following article and check if it works on you: What is Office Insider?

    Regards,

    Yoga
