Michael, FO is not intended to allow you to lock a resource. It's there for formatting and layout of given data. Locking a file is allowed by the PDF format not FO. So you'd need to hack the FOP code where PDF creation takes place and insert whatever mechanism Adobe uses to perform locking, or use a full version of Acrobat to lock your output files. The latter option doesn't really lend itself to automation though.
