I found my solution from a different post here https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1522591?sr=inbox. You just create and size text frames inside each cell and activate each text frame to be a text field (Object > Interactive > Convert to text field).

I just made a text frame and magnified the page so I could be more accurate with fitting it into the cell, and then started copying and pasting, sizing, and more copying and pasting, then was able to select an entire row and copy and paste that, and so on. All of the rows are the same with varying widths within each. I just did a test and copied and pasted to multiple rows and exported to PDF. The fields are already there, all aligned perfectly, numbered correctly! Way more control this way. Very cool! This copy and paste method is a lot quicker and more accurate than trying to do it in Adobe DC.
