Image in clipping mask moves when I open the file in Acrobat or Preview
Illustrator 29.8.2 on Mac Ventura 13.7.8
I have images in clipping masks. When I open the .ai document in Adobe Acrobat or Preview, the images have moved.
The workaround I have for now is to print to .ps to generate a .pdf.
(I just updated Illustrator but it happened yesterday too before the update with another file)

Here are some sample files: the .ai (and linked .jpgs) and screenshots of my two screens.

Update: this has kept going on. The workaround was to reopen the file, wiggle the linked image and save again, it would usually do the trick.
However, since Monday (30.2.1 update), it got much worse. Now the linked image also sometimes totally disappears from the Finder Preview, or if I open the .ai file in Photoshop or Acrobat.
I tried the previous workaround (wiggle), but it only works very sporadically. I need to lock/unlock the layer, move it a bit, or copy-paste it from another file, and sometimes it works, but with no definite process that works every time. It's just "do something, save and wait with fingers crossed."
This is getting rather irritating. :-(

I'm sorry Egor, not at the moment. My project manager asked me to move the images around and now everything seems to work. I'll save copies of the files if it happens again.

No way you can share the file with the team, Stéphanie?
You can do it privately via sharewithai@adobe.com (as always, mention this report’s link, http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/50539812)
