I found open source pstill to do conversions between pdf versions...
It seems to work fine.

Peter, thank you for you file. I tested it, but the \usePDFXoutputintent command is not understood by texexec.
true. the example code is mkiv only. as mkii is frozen (no new features) pdf/x support is limited to mkiv. you also wrote 'The file produced by LuaTex is PDF 1.5.', so where is the problem? ;)
mkii (pdftex): texexec yourbook.tex mkiv (luatex): context yourbook.tex
anyhow, here is an interesting link about pdf/x-1a
http://www.prepressure.com/pdf/basics/pdfx-1a
there a quite a lot of other restrictions in pdf/x-1a (aside from what can be handled in context). be sure to fulfil them all. and you have to ask your printing house, what output intent is used (probably stated on their side).
updated test files (now one for each version) are attached.
thank you ciro

I wonder if there will be a problem, and if so, how can I do the conversion to X-1a:2001? It's a complex subject, I fear that you need acrobat to be sure or defend your result
Anyway http://www.tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2009-June/thread.html#8050
Context should be able to produce PDF/X-1a:2003 so far (donno the difference to the 2001 version). I will look into it tomorrow (no time now). To give you a first impression what is needed (data,formats), I attached a test file (mkiv only) for the 2003 variant.
Best wishes, Peter
