Strange -- it should work. Does your document have a variable called "Last Page Number"? (You call it an 'application variable', but these don't exist in that sense. The variables you see in the "Text Variables" dialog are examples created there by Adobe. I deleted them because I have no use for all those variables in every new document that I create. Which is also the reason why I can't really check your problem.)

What exactly does the error message say: invalid parameter or invalid value? If you specify a text variable that doesn't exist, you'd expect "invalid value", not "invalid parameter".
