Hi. I have exactly the same problem.

For examplee, I have a background graphic that has transparency setting 80%. When saving as PDF document, the background looks grey instead of white.

It is pretty obvious that the problem was caused by changes made to Mac OS by Apple.

Please consider bringing this up in Apple Discussions.

I agree with Danila. This is a severe problem blocking me to use PowerPoint as graphics are not exported properly. PowerPoint is a presentation and visualisation tool and Microsoft is not clearly interested in the quality of graphics at all.

It's two months since I originally reported the problem...

Hello Microsoft team, any hope for an update? This is really a big problem. An ETA would be appreciated.

Best,

Danila
