Here is my config.pro file(mapkey PDF @MAPKEY_LABELPDF EXPORT)
Hi,
your PDF mapkey is related to specific drawing (it contains specific file names). User cannot apply it on any drawing.
Note: I did not find any simple procedure how to export drawing sheet names from Creo to text file.
Below I try to explain different approach.

Step 1: mapkeys
---
xx01 exports 1st sheet into drw0001_01.pdf file
xx02 exports 2nd sheet into drw0001_02.pdf file
... and so on
pdf01 is used for 1-sheet drawing
pdf02 is used for 2-sheet drawing
pdf03 is used for 3-sheet drawing
... and so on
Example:
> open 3-sheet drawing
> run pdf03 mapkey
> drw0001_01.pdf, drw0001_02.pdf, drw0001_02.pdf files are created

Step 2: renaming PDF files
---
Open File Explorer window to get access to exported PDF files.
In Creo drawing:
1.] press and hold SHIFT key
2.] select tab of 1st sheet
3.] select tab of last sheet
4.] press right mouse button and select Setup command
5.] Sheet Setup window opens, you can copy sheet names in it and use them to rename PDF files in File Explorer.
