You can create PDF/A-1b. This can be trivially converted with preflight to the required format.

It's unlikely this would be added to Distiller because, while it's technically possible, it may be profoundly misleading to offer PDF/A-2, PDF/X-4 etc. because Distiller flattens live transparency, a key advantage of these later formats. Your EPS of course won't have live transparency, but Adobe would want you to revisit the whole workflow and avoid Distiller.

Thanks TSN;

What you say is correct. I don't need transparency. I use this way (via eps than Distiller) because I have a lot of pdfx1a to convert in pdfa, so I use a Switch flow with Acrobat Pro and a Distiller module.
