It is not possible to control PDF security settings directly from FrameMaker.

You can, however, specify security settings in Distiller, that will apply 
to *all* PDFs distilled (whether you use Save as PDF from FrameMaker, or 
print to PS and distill).

In Distiller, choose Settings > Security.
The options you see vary depending on the Acrobat version compatibility set 
in in current Distiller settings.
