Well ---then \pdfminorversion=whatever is the solution. Anyway, I repeat, as it is now you can't get a PDF/X-1a:2001 compliant PDF with pdfTeX.

I modified pdfx.sty in my working directory to fit my exact needs:

\pdfpageattr{/MediaBox[0 0 581.102 765.354]
             /BleedBox[0 0 581.102 765.354]
             /TrimBox[113.385 113.385 467.717 651.969]}

Best,
