When I EXPORT PARTS to a .pdf file, all the editing (breaks, spacing, etc.) are removed.

Your score shows a single instrument. No need to create a part. Simply export the score as a pdf and the breaks will be preserved.
See:
CARNEGIE_HALL_DANCE_MEDLEY-Alto_Sax_1A.pdf
Normally parts that are generated from a full score need not follow all the editing breaks from the main score.
For example...
To save space, empty measures get combined into multi measure rests (wherever the part does not play) and so system and page break placement will be different.
Also, measures filled with 16th notes played by other instruments will stretch everything out on the main score, but those stretched out measures will not be needed if the part only plays whole notes whose measures do not need the same stretch when presented as a part.
What OS and version of MuseScore? I exported as PDF and it was correct.

When a part is created from the OP's score and exported, it gives an undesired result, removing the breaks et al.
Your pdf attachment and mine are the same because we did not generate, then export, as a part.

It is possible that while you gave a better answer than I did, neither of us addressed the original question. I suspect the original score included several instruments. That score is what we need.
I spent some time working with this. I don't know why. But I noticed some things.
1. I created a mock score from the OP's file. When I created parts from my score, they indeed did not look like the original. The PDF didn't look like the OP's file.
2. I suspect that the OP wanted the part to look like their file, not like the result that we all got.

The OP did not ask a question, but rather made this statement: "When I EXPORT PARTS to a .pdf file, all the editing (breaks, spacing, etc.) are removed."
The statement is true. That's because breaks, spacing, etc. relate to layout rather than content (e,g,. notes, key signatures, voltas, etc,) and so they are not linked between the master score and any part spawned from it.
From the handbook: "Parts and score are 'linked', which means that any change to the content in one will affect the other, but changes to the layout will not."

It seems to me that there is a question implied in the statement. What if the OP wanted to retain the things that were removed? Otherwise the post and the files don't mean much. Obviously the mscz file is not a score. You can't exports parts from it. I don't think he was trying to do that. But we may never know for sure.
