Was the person who suggested printing and scanning serious? Rasterizing PDFs directly produces better results. The poppler package <a href="https://poppler.freedesktop.org/" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk19702" previewremoved="true">https://poppler.freedesktop.org/</a> includes
pdftocairo and pdftoppm, and ghostscript supports a number of bitmapped output formats. <a href="https://ghostscript.com/doc/9.21/Devices.htm" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk425432" previewremoved="true">https://ghostscript.com/doc/9.21/Devices.htm</a> Other
applications like GraphicsMagick and ImageMagick use poppler (or similar libraries) or ghostscript when rasterizing PDFs. pdftoppm and gs both support cmyk jpegs, and gs supports ICC <a href="https://ghostscript.com/doc/9.21/Use.htm#ICC_color_parameters" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk401398" style="font-size: 10pt;" previewremoved="true">https://ghostscript.com/doc/9.21/Use.htm#ICC_color_parameters</a>
After you rasterize the PDF page to the resolution and format that you want, you can crop it in gimp <a href="https://www.gimp.org/" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk562292" previewremoved="true">https://www.gimp.org/</a> or a similar application. </div>
