How to execute Acrobat Actions via Excel

I use an Excel macro to copy and rename PDF files based on data contained within the spreadsheet. Each of those newly created PDFs have multiple extablished Acrobat Actions that must be performed on them. Is there a way to incorporate/copy those Actions into Excel, so that I can simply assign a macro to run each of them? Running MS365 and Acrobat Pro DC.

I use a few custom actions. One modifies the Document Properties Description fields, another adds password protection. I plan to add a couple more; one to insert a watermark and another to insert a footer.

With the IAC API of Acrobat you can add watermarks, but not password protection.
