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.

    Hello All,

    again, this is a typical MS answer: It's not a bug, it's a feature.

    Please explain to why converting the same file on a Mac creates a file size 20 times larger than on a PC. This has ZERO to do with my Mac setup because this only happens with your products. My keynote file (imported powerpoint file) creates a pdf at pretty much the same size as the original, most of the times even smaller.

    This is proof that MS is creating a bug that wasn't there a few years ago. I have used your products for over 10 years on a Mac and not had this issue for 9 years. Only with Office 2016 for Mac this problem appeared.

    Please do not treat us users and paying customers as stupid people - your answers here in the forum sound polite but suggest that the user is the problem 99% of the time. My standpoint is very different for obvious reasons.

    Yoga said it is a bug that has been fixed in version 16.11. He never said anything of the sort that this is a feature.

    If you want to cut ahead in line to get the next update right now, join Insider Slow.
