Threshold disappears on exports

When I export a document into a PDF or try to save the PSD file the threshold from the original document stops working and it only shows on PSD files. Is there a fix for this?

Can you please show an example?
Either I don't understand your problem - or I can't reproduce it on my computer.

PS - PSD

Adobe Acrobat - PDF (with PS in the background for comparison)

Thanks for the reply, yeah I am relatively new to photoshop and have been playing around but as you can see in the photoshop screenshot the threshold works but in the jpeg it doesn't. I have tried exporting to different types of files and it seems to be the same every time. Thanks once again!

I am a little confused. At the beginning you talk about PSD/PDF and now about PSD/JPEG.

Unfortunately, I can't see where in your PSD the threshold is applied. But since you are most likely overlaying a smart object above with reduced opacity and possibly with a blend mode, please try the following:
Before saving/exporting your file as a JPEG, activate the top layer and press Shift+Ctrl+Alt+E. (This will create a merged copy of all visible layers above the active layer).

Does the appearance of the file change? If not, then save this version as a JPEG.
