Cd-rom Shop Manuals

Unfortunately, I only have version 4, so I have to load one file at a time.

Did you find any links in the documents? If so, do they work still?

Yes, I finally noticed the links. And yes, they are (mostly) broken. It doesn't look like Acrobat has any easy way to do a batch update of broken links. No big deal, IMHO. Once you have everything in only a handful of files, it fairly easy to follow the links manually (just like you would using a paper copy).

I might even put the whole thing in 1 file. Acrobat 6 (maybe 4 too) lets you assign page numbers with a prefix. Using this feature, you can basically get Acrobat to recognize the chapter-pagenumber convention used in the manuals. This makes following a link manually no more complicated than typing in which page to jump to (ex. 05-1025).
 
If you really want the links to work, you could tweak the scripts to produce one or more HTML index pages (instead of renaming the files). You'd open the html index in your browser and then click a link to open acrobat and the appropriate (cypticly named) pdf. From there, the pdf links would work as designed.
 
if anyone would like to help a guy out. If you are willing to lend me the electric copy in a easily working form, I will be more than happy to print you out the complete book(s) and bind them for you.

If anyone has gone the ebay route to acquire the CD-ROM version Repair Manuals AND is interested in recooping 50% of thier cost, send me a PM or email to [email protected].

I have a 2005 4runner V8 4WD.
 
How come I can't find these CDs on eBay anymore?? :( Anyone that has them are interested in selling them to me? Please PM me!
 
Anyone have an idea of where to get the repair manuals for a 2005? Would they be the same as the 2004??

Thanks
 
If your email can accept a 10M attachment I would be happy to let you review the 2004 cd I purchased from Ebay
 
I was confused, I thought an archive that was 10m was the CD. It turns out that it is 60m compressed. Since this is beyond the cap of email attchments, I will be happy to mail out the CD.

Send a CD mailer with two stamps to: Glenn Drayer, 921 S. Sarah Wy, Anaheim, CA 92805. and I will send a copy of the (bootleg?) 2004 CD.

Glenn,

I will send you a mailer with a blank CD.

Thanks in advance

Thanks Glenn,

I got the CD yesterday. I took a quick look at it and it's OK. Just a PITA to find stuff using the search.

Thanks Again,

Koz
 
me too!

Glenn

I hope you wouldn't mind sending one out to me as well. I'll send a cd mailer w/ a blank cd and stamps.
 
Sorry, Last month I defected to the car side with an Accord Coupe. I sold the Manual set I got from Jomomma and I included the CD. I no longer have it available to make copies from.
 
no worries, congrats on the accord i have a 05 sedan myself wish i could've got the coupe but the wife wasn't having it.
 
When I got my '04, I ordered the OEM CD for beau coup bucks. I then had it printed at Kinko's. About 8, 4" thick loose leaf binders. You really only need about 3. The rest are for "Diagnostics" which you can refer to CD on.

Even so, the three main books (incl Electric) are tough enough to follow. No photos at all and they presume a pretty good understanding of component locations and Toyota jargon.
