Illustrator Quick Preview (quick-look on Mac) doesn't work properly, shows less elements

Community Beginner ,

Hello! , I installed Ventura 13.4 from scratch yesterday in my Macbook Pro 2017 since I wanted a clean installation, so I reinstalled Adobe Suite but now I can see some issues or bugs in the quick preview/look specifically in my Illustrator files, and this is so stressful bc I'm a graphic designer and it's my main tool. Before re-installation everything was fine with the quick-look, so the files are exported properly, and notice that this is happening only with the Illustrator Files, I haven't noticed anything with psd or other files, they displays good. So the only way to see accurately my files is opening the file with Acrobat or Illustrator itself.

Thank you beforehand guys !

PD. The file I show in the screenshots is a simple business card with a gradient, in cmyk, nothing extraordinary or heavy

So that is a freeform gradient, no?

 

Quick Look depends on Apple's own PDF engine, which is crap. It just can't display everything. Sometimes it shows more stuff, because it doesn't understand hidden elements, sometimes it shows the wrong things, because it can't deal with knockout groups and its handling of transparency is a joke.

 

The only thing you could do in this case is to convert your gradient to pixels. Which might not be really desirable. 

 

You will need to complain to Apple about this.

That's right, it's due to the freeform gradient, but it's ridiculous, I tested as .svg and it works fine with the quick look 
😓. And this problem actually didn't happen in Monterey, I pass through this until now with this Ventura Crap
So, there is really nothing to do here??

In an SVG the freeform gradient is converted to a pixel image automatically.

The only thing you can do is complain to Apple about their crappy system (yes, I'm using it too).
