CyanPDF is getting close to a proper release. I made a prototype last year, but never finished it, today I did.
It's CLI-only for now as I did a complete rewrite. It converts any RGB PDF to CMYK PDF/X-1a with "pure black" for text and graphics.
Will do a release sometime this week.
As a bonus I had some fun with Inkscape... CyanPDF now integrates into Inkscape and you can export directly to CMYK PDF/X-1a from Inkscape! 😎 (it's POC, needs more work)

Back on social media again (touching grass was nice) ... I usually do prepress on macOS, but when I'm on Linux I end up using #Inkscape (Scribus UX is not the best).
So I decided to make a simple GUI over Ghostscript 👻 . It will create prepress-ready PDF/X from any PDF. Note! If you want total control over CMYK/spot colors use Scribus, but if your demands are simple (RGB=>CMYK) it might work for you...
