Default 2008 Manual in PDF format

I like having the PDF version available and don't like having to go the Toyota site and work with their version (it's separated by topic that you have to search for).
Over the weekend I saved the online version to my computer and compiled it into one file. It was a major PITA and took a long time. It is a huge file >40MB. The 2007 version wasn't nearly as large, which is surprising for a car that was supposed to be nearly identical to the 2008.
The size of the file would make uploading here impractical (not sure if there is a size limit).
There are a few missing pages, the dark gray pages that begin each section. I don't believe there is any content on the missing pages.
I believe I have the entire manual, but with 440 pages that were copied and pasted, there might be a page or two mistakenly missing or out of order.

Why not upload to rapidshare.com and post the link? The file will stay on rapidshare until over 90 days elapses without a download.

Thanks for the 2007 manual!!!
I didn't do the 2007 version, I only found it on the internet.
If anyone has a slow connection and would prefer the PDF on a CD, please send me a private message.

Trust me, it was a major PITA. Try copying and pasting 200 PDF pages (with a 1.25GB iBook). It takes 2-3 minutes to see whether the operation was successful and about 5 minutes to save it. The final product was a result of a total >40 merges, since the web site breaks up each section. So, I had to add them together in pieces. No, you can't do it all at once, it's too difficult and one slip up and you get to start over from the beginning.
I aint doing this again!

There is a tool that will merge or split apart PDFs. It works very well. I have used it to merge parts of the 2007 Repair Manual. I will have to find the name of it when I get to work. It is free.
