Correct.

No. You are invited to write it or sponsor someone to do this.

Here is some sample code for combining iText with FOP, for
the purpose of encryption

You can use iText after you have generated your PDF. It is a Java PDF API 
that allows you to manipulate pdf pages by pages and to control PDF 
document properties like encryption and viewing and printing...

it's  easy to use and only have a few limitation like some image type not 
handled.

see http://itext.sourceforge.net
