I have a fillable PDF where there is a column where I want to be able to auto populate sequentially the rest of the boxes in that field set based on the first field entry.

    Yes, this is possible with a script. From the image I'm assuming that the Order Number column is the one you want automatically populated?  Will the user always be starting on the first line, or can the auto numbering start at any line?  Does the user enter the order number? or is it automatically set from some other source?

    The first "order number" field will be manually filled and I wish for each order number field to increment by one to the bottom of the sheet. This whether the sheet starts at 1 or 511.
