Is there any way to use PDF encoding software from previous versions of OSX?

Recently updated to OSX 10.14.3 and PDFs exported from PowerPoint or Keynote look very bad all of the sudden, especially in regards to shadows. Light colored shadows are dark black and look awful.

Old PDFs from the same PPT source file look great. I noticed on the info tab on OSX that there is this difference:

GOOD PDF Export:
Encoding software
Mac OS X 10.13.5 Quartz PDFContext

BAD, NEW PDF Export:
Encoding software
macOS Version 10.14.3 (Build 18D42) Quartz PDFContext

So I'm assuming this is because of the latest OSX update. Any way to I fix it? Can I change the encoding software to the same one used in 10.13.5? My job relies on exporting PPT to PDF and having it look as it should (and always has before).

Thanks!!
