Simple GIMP question
#2
Us poor people have to use LibreCAD Wink

Your PDF from CAD might look like this, a drawing on a page. This one A4 paper size.

   

Gimp is a raster editor, any vector properties of the CAD design are lost. Quality all depends on the image resolution. If the import dialogue resolution is not 300 pixels-per-inch then bump it up, 300 ppi is the usual quality value. Then edit as required, crop and scale to 300 x 300 pix 

   

If it is a logo, or part of a logo, you might want to consider the vector program Inkscape. That will keep the vector properties of the PDF. Saving as a scaleable-vector-graphics ( SVG ) format makes the image easily scalable up or down, or if you want a 300 x 300 pix png you can export that.
