PPTX save as Adobe PDF does not print PNG images created with Illustrator

Question

I've been searching for answers to this, so I'll try the collective mind of the Community.

When saving a PowerPoint presentation created from a template file that contains imported PNG images created with Adobe Illustrator with the option 'Save as Adobe PDF', the imported images that were created in Illustrator do not transfer to the PDF. However other images and text does without issue, it's only the imagescreated with Illustrator. Other methods of creating the PDF will show the imported images as expected, leading me to believe this may be an Adobe issue. While with the other wasy to create a PDF are manageable workaround, the issue still remains and is unexpectingly affecting users.

@GeoffP@LZB instead of using PowerPoint's built-in "Save as" feature, instead, use the "Print to PDF" option. The "Print to PDF" option, is less likely to encounter this specific rendering bug. While these are workarounds, they are often the most reliable way to ensure all content, including Illustrator-generated graphics, is correctly transferred to the final PDF.
