Re: Accidentally deleted a list in my PDF document

This is a common issue in Acrobat. I've seen other ways of dealing with
this, but here's the method I used to solve it.

First find the LI where it should be. If you don't know where it is, select
some text around it in the PDF and choose "Find text from selection." This
should give you the area it's in. Highlight the LBody tag where the content
should be. Select the text in question. The LBody tag will change from a
highlighted blue to a gray highlight. Right click the gray highlighted
LBody tag and choose "Create tag from selection."

Hope this helps.
