You could also try to use Ghostscript with PDF/X3 option, cf. http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/cvs/Ps2pdf.htm#PDFX
Example command is:
gs -dPDFX -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOOUTERSAVE -dUseCIEColor -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=out-x3.pdf PDFX_def.ps input.ps
If I understood it correctly, one can also replace "input.ps" by "input.pdf".

Maybe you could use this shareware programm: http://www.pstill.com/ Info from this site: \startquotation "Convert to PDF, PDF/X and PDF/A Easy and high-quality EPS, PS, PDF and several raster image formats to PDF conversion _on Windows and MacOS X_, able to concat multiple files of all types in the output, also as mixed set. You can just drop in some PS, PDF and e.g. JPEG files and PStill will create one PDF from the input set. PStill can output also to PDF/X-1a and PDF/X-3, a focused subset of PDF for 'pre-press' work. PStill knows about CMYK and spot colors and can handle overprinting. Starting with version 1.72.18 PStill also creates PDF/A-1b, a special version of PDF for archiving purposes." \stopquotation \startquotation "The Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, IRIX, AIX and HPUX versions are free only for personal/private and educational use. Commercial users (means: any for-profit use) must register and order a commercial type license key. The software will run without any functional restrictions but will display a notice on the console." \stopquotation From the above the impression could be raised that conversion to PDF/X-1a only works on Windows and MacOS X, but according to this post it seems to work on linux as well (?): http://www.stone.com/stoneforum/viewtopic.php?t=171 Note: Completely untested by me. Please inform us if it worked. You could also try one of these more commercial services: http://www.pdfxreport.com/doku.php?id=en:tools Thanks, Adriaan.
