Help with a PDF with Numbered lines

Hi,

I have a PDF where every line is numbered (like a legal document). I¹m
trying to decide how to best tag it. If I make each line a paragraph, the
number is read with that content, but it isn¹t really set off. If I mark
each of those line numbers as a lower level heading, then they would be set
off, but they are still read in the midst of sentences, and I would think
that would be distracting, too. If I artifact the numbers, that does no one
any good when something is referred to as ³in line 425 we mention².

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance--
Kathryn
