PDFs don't have "variables" in the sense in which you're referring. My recommendation is that you make the PDF into a form, and make the fields read-only with no decorative elements. Then, you can easily inject the values you want using CFPDFFORM, etc. This is a very common approach to this problem. If you have an existing PDF that's not a form, simply import it into LiveCycle Designer as "background art" using the "fixed pages" option. Then, draw out whatever form fields you need, remove their captions and any other visual elements, and set them to read-only.
