You don't care. Since this is not a PDF/X file, there shouldn't be a tag saying what PDF/X version it is.
> OutputIntent missing
You probably don't care. The Output Intent is a way for the creator of the PDF to let you know how they were expecting the final to be produced. Again, since this is not a PDF/X file I wouldn't expect an Output Intent to be present.
> PDF version newer than 1.3
PDF/X-1(a) MUST be PDF version 1.3. If the PDF is built to a newer version transparency could be present.
> PDF/x label missing or incorrect
Duh. It's not a PDF/X.
> Trapped key not true or false
You probably don't care. Generally the files will come to you untrapped. Prinergy is going to trap your files (I'm assuming your workflow is set up to trap), and you may even have it set up to ignore any trapping present in incoming files.
> TrimBox or ArtBox missing
The PDF was most likely made from a Quark file. Quark STILL doesn't get this right. Anyway, you don't care.
Building your own preflight is not tough. You just need to identify what's important to you. Here's a link to a nice document from our friends at Callas:
