When I save my document as a high-resolution PDF, the gradients are ripped completely pixelated. This is clearly a bug and very annoying if your artwork needs to be sent to the printer.

I gave it another try today and the problem seems to have been resolved. If I encounter the same problem in the future, I'll let you know. Thanks for the quick response.

Would it be possible for you @Anke26557747958a to share some of the files in which you are facing this issue?

It's just a classic gradient. When I rip it in the non-beta version, it looks fine. So I think it's a bug in the ripping process.

Thanks for sharing this @Anke26557747958a Kindly also confirm if you have used Dither or Perceptual here. Or, is this happening for Classic gradients without Dither?

It looks fine in illustrator but when I export to PDF "Press qualtiy" or " High qualtity print" the gradients are ripped completely pixelated.
