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.

    Sorry, but the Problem is not solved. pdf-exports are still blurry, especially pictures. And it doesn't matter how to export - print, export or save as - all with the same bad result.

    Could you please confirm whether your build number is higher than 16.15 (180701)? To see the build number, you may go to "Main Menu -> PowerPoint -> About PowerPoint.

    Thanks!

    I have been having the same issue with every powerpoint document I am now trying to export as a PDF. 

    The images go blurry and lose resolution and the lines become super thick!!

    I have just updated all my software and no change!

    Has this been fixed???
