Producing a document in pdf x/1a:2001 format.

POD printer LSI recommends the above version and for some
books demands it.

Many self and small publishers print through LSI to gain access to
Ingram and/or Amazon. As a result many are forced to buy Adobe
Acrobat Distiller just to get this format.

Is there a way to produce a pdf file via Ghostscript in the pdf
x/1a:2001 format? It is similar but not identical to pdf 1.3. But LSI
insists on the x/1a format.

If not could this feature be added?

LSI is the dominant POD printer in the USA.

Yes, I corrected that in a private reply and suggested starting off by
looking at the documentation for PDF/X-3 production. I should learn not to
reply while still jet lagged...
