Leonard, thanks for your answer. Yes, I am aiming for the output file to be PDF/X compliant.
Do you have a simple example for setting the output intent? I read the PDF spec but it is vague in that it says one does not have to add an output ICC profile if the given output intent is an "industry standard" or something like that (which ISOcoated_v2 sure is), but there is not a list of "registered names" for output intents. Or should I just embedd the ISOcoated_v2 ICC profile itself and use any name? I will have a look at setting a sRGB ICC profile for the embedded images.
