I would suggest you to use iText pdf library. Here is the gradle dependency:

implementation 'com.itextpdf:itextg:5.5.10'

 Document document = new Document();

 String directoryPath = android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();

 PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(directoryPath + "/example.pdf")); //  Change pdf's name.

 document.open();

 Image image = Image.getInstance(directoryPath + "/" + "example.jpg");  // Change image's name and extension.

 float scaler = ((document.getPageSize().getWidth() - document.leftMargin()
               - document.rightMargin() - 0) / image.getWidth()) * 100; // 0 means you have no indentation. If you have any, change it.
 image.scalePercent(scaler);
 image.setAlignment(Image.ALIGN_CENTER | Image.ALIGN_TOP); 

 document.add(image);
 document.close();

You can convert a JPG to a PDF by targeting a minimum SDK of 19 (KitKat 4.4) and using Google's PdfDocument API ( https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/pdf/PdfDocument ), as shown below in Kotlin:

    // Load JPG file into bitmap
    val f: File = myJPGFile
    val bitmap: Bitmap  = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(f.absolutePath)

    // Create a PdfDocument with a page of the same size as the image
    val document: PdfDocument = PdfDocument()
    val pageInfo: PdfDocument.PageInfo  = PdfDocument.PageInfo.Builder(bitmap.width, bitmap.height, 1).create()
    val page: PdfDocument.Page  = document.startPage(pageInfo)

    // Draw the bitmap onto the page
    val canvas: Canvas = page.canvas
    canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, 0f, 0f, null)
    document.finishPage(page)

    // Write the PDF file to a file
    val directoryPath: String  = android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString()
    document.writeTo( FileOutputStream(directoryPath + "/example.pdf"))
    document.close()
