This is not normal behaviour in Keynote, PDF export on our systems produce PDF's with the same quality as the original.

Try resetting Keynote; perform all the steps in the order listed:

Remove Keynote version 6.5, you must use an application removal tool for this procedure to work: Appcleaner is free
Empty the trash
Shut Down the Mac (Apple menu > Shut Down)
Wait 10 seconds, then press the power button
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold down the Shift key,
release the Shift key when you see the grey Apple screen
start up will take a few minutes longer than usual as the Mac is performing a software repair
Restart the Mac normally, (don’t hold down any keys during startup)
Install Keynote from the Mac App Store
