As a general rule, I would suggest to first read the documentation about
keyboard mappings:

Help -> Manual -> Customizing TeXmacs
Help -> Scheme extensions -> Overview of the scheme extension language

Then, just search for the place in the scheme files where the menu with
the Pdf export is defined :

==============================
(menu-bind save-menu
("Save buffer" (save-buffer))
("Save buffer as" (choose-file save-buffer "Save TeXmacs file" "texmacs"))
---
(promise (export-menu-promise #t))
---
("Export as#Pdf" (choose-file print-to-file "Save pdf file" "pdf"))
("Export as#PostScript"
(choose-file print-to-file "Save postscript file" "postscript")))
==============================

There, you can see the command which you should use:

(choose-file print-to-file "Save pdf file" "pdf")

So, you should put a command like

(kbd-map
("xxx" (choose-file print-to-file "Save pdf file" "pdf")))

somewhere in your Scheme initialization file.

Best wishes, Joris
