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,

    In the most recent PPT update, when you try and print or convert to PDF, lines get oversized and images become distorted.

    Is there a way to fix this bug? Its happening across six team members within the firm.

    Thank you.

    Hi G,

    We apologize for the inconvenience it caused. Recently we have received some reports about it.

    For the low texts & image quality issue, we also set a primary thread:

    Best Regards,

    It sounds like you found a really old version of PowerPoint - like maybe 2004 or earlier and tried to restore it.
