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.

    Dear repliers,

    Many thanks for your suggestions. I will try to get images to you to see better what is happening. However, I simply don't have any time to spare to chase this, apologies. As soon as possible, I will get back in touch, as the problem persists. 

    Thanks again,

    Hanasard

    Hi All,

    I have checked the bug again and it is still under active investigation. We could totally understand your frustration about encountering the issue and apologize for the delay.

    In this case, I would like to suggest you use the Smile button in PowerPoint to explain how the issue impacts your work. The Smile feedback will go to the Office Product team and let them get your voice directly.

    Besides, Ziyaad shared a workaround above: Open the file in PowerPoint Online and download it as PDF. Since currently there is no particular version for fixing this issue, you can try the workaround for now and check if it helps from your side.

    I will keep tracking the bug, and let you know the latest information as soon as possible once I get the update.

    @Ziyaad,

    Thanks for sharing the workaround here.

    Regards,

    Yoga
