PS if that was already addressed in this thread I apologize for asking again (I couldn't find the answer).

Thx nefiii
I do not think that you can. I have just been printing mine off. I have thought about scanning them to save them to the computer, but I am not to worried about it right now. If there is a way to save a digital copy from the .pdf please let me know, but I am pretty sure that there is not.

not sure, but I would imagine if you had the adobe full version you could save your log sheets and probably just keeping adding new sheets to the PDF file for each dive - that way one PDF file would be your log and easy to back up - but Adobe is not cheap

I would assume the same thing. And no it is not cheap....

Folks, thank you all for taking time to answer my question. Dive safe...
I found a possible solution to saving forms which you have already filled out... . The goal is to "print" the form to a file, instead of a printer. You get to choose the folder you want to "print" to. In essence, you are saving the file after it was filled out and you have a digital copy of your printed log sheet. The sequence goes something like this:
  1. File
  2. Print
  3. In the Printer Name box open the drop down menu. There should be some sort of "Virtual Printer" in your drop down box list.
  4. You may have one of several options: choose either "Save to File", "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer" or the virtual printer mentioned above. Select one... (I used Microsoft blah, blah...)
  5. OK (Print)
  6. Choose folder to "print" to. This is where the form will be saved.
  7. VIOLA!! You have a digital copy of your log book sheet.
