Hotkeys for specific security settings?

[Anonymousplease.]

Dear all,

I send hundreds of .PDF's a month, they come in either two security flavors:

1. Restricted editing and printing -> High resolution printing allowed -> Commenting, filling in forms & signing existing signature fields (+ password protected)

2. Restricted editing and printing -> High resolution printing allowed -> no changes allowed (+ password protected)

Right now I manually set the permissions each time. I know you can automate security settings for *every* .PDF, but knowing myself, I'd forget to change the permissions between the two types.

Is there a way to create hotkeys for Adobe to do this? Say if I hit control F1, it secures it in way 1, but if i hit F2 it secures it in way 2?

I'd love to hear your thoughts or knowledge!

Create 2 guided actions and add the actions to the toolbar.

Dear Bernd,

Thank you for your helpful answer! I've created two actions who do just what I want it to and added them to the toolbar. 

The icons for both actions look identical however, is there a way to differentiate between them, or this may get a little confusing. Also is there a way to use a hotkey to trigger these actions?

When you move the mouse over the icon you will see the action name.
