Was the person who suggested printing and scanning serious? Rasterizing PDFs directly produces better results. The poppler package https://poppler.freedesktop.org/ includes pdftocairo and pdftoppm, and ghostscript supports a number of bitmapped output formats. https://ghostscript.com/doc/9.21/Devices.htm 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 https://ghostscript.com/doc/9.21/Use.htm#ICC_color_parameters After you rasterize the PDF page to the resolution and format that you want, you can crop it in gimp https://www.gimp.org/ or a similar application.
