is it possible to bring object to front/back? By mistake I've deleted an image laying under some text and other images from document and now I'm not able to place it back without covering every other objects
Is there any solution for this? Undo also doesn't work.
Thank you for any help,

Enthusiast , Jun 17, 2012 Jun 17, 2012 Sandeep_V_ • Enthusiast , Jun 17, 2012 Jun 17, 2012Yes, there is a solution. Try this:
- Right click on Left Navigation Panel
- Select Content
- Now select the Picture (object) that you want to move back
- Drag it up in the hierarchy.
Note: This will move the content back/front if that is not merged/flattened to the PDF.
This should change your

That exact feature is not available in Acrobat X, but you could import the missing image as a layer or page background, placing it behind the page content.

@Sandeep - while dragging items in the content panel is possible, in practice with a complex page it tends not to work properly in Acrobat X- and will have implications for page reflow and accessibility. For situations where a single content item must be added back into the page from an external source, we have found that using OCGs is a much simpler and more reliable solution for users.

Yeah, that true! You would face difficulties with complex pages. I agree.
You possibly need to run the accessibility setup assistant again.

This doesn't seem to work with shapes created using the Comment tool. Any ideas how I can arrange these? Cutting and pasting doesn't seem to bring images to the front of the stack, either. The comment shape sits over everything.

Thank you all for your answers. Finally, because I needed this document to be ready on Monday morning and it was not sure that someone will answer to my question, I've remade whole document. By this I've lost about 5 hours of work - but I've survived it and I can write again.
However, I've tried both of the proposed solutions - both of them are working well, even if it is true that for complex pages with hundreds items in the content pane it is little bit difficult to find the exact place where to move the covering item. When I've tried it on my damaged document, in 10 minutes I've succeed to have everything on the correct "depth".
So, next time I'll know how to do it.
Thank you all once again.
