Keynote 13.2 PDF export issue

Keynote 13.2 won't export transparent shapes correctly to PDF. If you create a shape with a semi-transparent gradient, the export won't show the gradient, but instead a semi-transparent shape. Depending on the size of the object it will even convert the original shape (in my example a round) to a generic square.

The issue won't happen when exporting to images.

Hi, I have reported the issue to Apple (thanks Gary). They're working on it. So far the solution consists in choosing 'Print' instead of 'Export' and then choose the 'Save as PDF' in the lower part of the printer window. The file should be ok. At least it worked for me.
