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 MikeRothenberg,

    As for the low resolution issue, recently we have received some reports from multiple users regarding this issue. 

    We have set up a primary thread to provide updates to the situation:

    Primary thread: PowerPoint export to PDF has tons of formatting issues.

    In addition, there is another issue about oversized arrow with this update, please also pay attention to the primary thread we have set up:

    Primary thread: Oversized arrows when printing in PowerPoint.

    To help other members to easily see the information in this thread, we will be locking this thread from further posting.

    Appreciate your understanding and we apologize for the inconvenience it caused.

    Best Regards,

    Gloria

    Hi Asheurs,

    Thanks for your updated information.

    As I mentioned above, we have reported the arrow size issue to the related team for further investigation, I will post back and let you know the updated information as soon as possible once I get one.

    As for the font change issue, since this thread is focused on the arrow size and shapes, which is different from the font change scenario. I would like to suggest you post a new thread with detailed steps and related screenshots about how you encounter the issue and your detailed Office version in this forum, we are also more than willing to help you on the issue.

    We appreciate your understanding.

    Regards,

    Yoga
