Yes... but I'm not surprised by the 1.3/1.5 version problem: I know that many printers don't have up-to-date RIPs/workflows and can only image 1.3 PDFs...
... I'm only surprised by the fact that a printer using a Prinergy workflow needs 1 page PDFs:
AFAIK, generally, printers who ask for 1 page 1.3 PDF are those who don't have any equipement for imaging PDF (or don't know how to handle PDFs correctly), and can only image PDF by importing them page by page in QuarkXpress (version 5) pages to image from XPress (which is not a reliable solution)... or, worst, those butchers who transform PDFs in TIFF or JPEG pixels files with Photoshop (which is a crap job)...
... but, normally, a Prinergy workflow (even an old one needing 1.3 PDFs) should accept without any problem the original 160 pages PDF distilled in 1.3 by
Alien
And often this demand by a printer of 1 page PDF is caused by (and reveals) either a lack of competence in handling/imaging PDFs, or a very old equipement, like an old out-of-age PostScript level 2 RIP!!!
