When setting the Opacity option, there are mesh grids on the background of the pdf file. Opacity option should be saved because some shapes may be overlay.

Version:12.2, Windows 10

ff = RegionPlot[x^2 + y^3 < 2, {x, -2, 2}, {y, -2, 2}, PlotStyle -> Directive[Gray, Opacity[0.6]]]
Export["ff.pdf", ff]

Mesh->none option not work. Is there any way to remove the mesh grids when exporting the image?

    $\begingroup$ Add the setting Method -> {"TransparentPolygonMesh" -> True} to RegionPlot[] and report back. $\endgroup$

I get the same meshed result as @zongxian with and without @J.M.'s recommendation. I am using:

$Version
(* "12.2.0 for Microsoft Windows (64-bit) (December 12, 2020)" *)

A possible workaround is to use Region with the appropriate specification like so:

ff = Region[
  Style[ImplicitRegion[x^2 + y^3 < 2, {{x, -2, 2}, {y, -2, 2}}], Gray,
    Opacity[0.6]], PlotTheme -> "Detailed"]
Export["ff.pdf", ff]

The PDF is close to what is desired as shown below:
