Do you have Photoshop CS4 or later? If you do its quite simple to do using Adobe Bridge. Simply select the JPEG files you want to convert to PDF format, then select the Output workspace in Adobe Bridge and you will see options to save the selected files as either PDF or a Web Gallery. Choose the PDF option, then use the Layout section to configure how you want the files to appear, and click the Save button to generate the PDF file(s).
In older versions you can use the Contact Sheet and Picture Package plug-ins in Photoshop to save JPEGs to PDF. And if you don't have Photoshop there are several tools online that can also do the conversion.
I've used Bridge output to create "contact sheets" for reviewing shots. It's convenient. The PDF file is just a layout "wrapper" for the embedded reduced JPGs in it.
There's no control over the image quality in the reduction process for the photos that I recall (been a while since I've done one) so you might experiment with making the contact sheets directly from out of camera file size vs. first making a reduced size copy closer to the size on the contact sheet with the other output utility in Bridge. That way it is possible to apply USM or other action driven automated PP like adding water mark. Then create the PDF sheets from them. Whether that extra step is worth the trouble will be something only decided by trying it and comparing.
I just created a pdf file from jpegs using adobe acrobat X pro and it did a nice job of 1 photo per page. They have a free trial on their site if you want to see if it meets your needs.

This can make a slideshow too. Thanks !!
If we view one of these files (like this one https://www.kennethleegallery.com/pdf/slideshow.pdf) in a web browser like Firefox or Safari, the browser's PDF plugin shows the document as consisting of a list of images. However, if we save the file and then open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader, it can be viewed as a full-screen slideshow.
To view the resulting .PDF file as a slide show at full-screen size, can require some extra keystrokes, but when it works, it works very nicely.
On macOS, Adobe Reader doesn't seem to render the transition effects between images, but on Windows11 it works nicely.
Since we're on the topic: can you recommend a good program for making slideshows ? I presume the resulting file is some kind of video format. I don't want the images to be downsized.
