Yes, you can populate a PDF with variables. What you need to do is go into the PDF (will need full Acrobat version) and create the form, name the fields, etc if you haven't done already. Then you will need to export the form data (FDF). Taking the format of the FDF file, you use ColdFusion (CFFILE) to write a new FDF with populated variables in it and then "merge" the FDF file and the actual PDF file.
I haven't this in a while, so I really don't remember many details, but the principle is the same. Maybe search for CFFILE, FDF would help.
