You'll need to install patch-package and add "postinstall": "patch-package" to your scripts section in package.json. Then it works for me best of luck!

For those using pnpm, use:

pnpm patch react-native-pdf@<your-version>

then

pnpm patch-commit <path-generated-by-the-command-above>

I solved all my Android problems with this, thanks guys! Not the ideal solution, but 1 less issue today lol
