I am using variables in Illustrator CC.

As the text comes into my design, I want the font size to change to make the text fit, without the size of the text area box changing.

So, a short word that comes from the variable might have a font size of 14, but a long word that comes in to the same box from the variable would have a font size of 8. Whatever font size lets the word fit in the text box.

Thank you

You can use the script and technique described in the LinkedIn article here.
The method there would be to add the referenced script be ran during your batch export actions process. To have it run during your batch action, it's got to reside in the [Menu > Scripts] menu item.

Don't do it. It'll look terrible and your users won't like it. Size the text for the longest word, and let the whitespace vary naturally.
