Manuals from techinfo.toyota.com

i paid my niece $25 to download each file individually. she did a great job. created a file structure and every thing.

 

I don't know Acrobat very well, but I was thinking of using curl or wget to mirror the entire structure of the Prius area of their website, so I could pay my $10 once and get the whole shooting match.

You have to create an HTML file containing the URLs to all of the PDFs first, and then do "Append all links on page". I've alread posted instructions on how to do this, you can find them with a search.

 

I gave instructions on how to generate the paths to the files:

"2) is simple to do by just viewing the frame source for the document list, and comparing it to the full URL to any one of the PDFs (I had to do this in Internet Explorer)."

It sounds like things have moved around, but if you can just view the frame source, and get the list of PDFs, and then construct absolute URLs, you should be all set.

 

I have tried to do the same thing, but I did not successfully download the files by using adobe and get the same error message. It looks like that adobe acorbat 7.0 can not pass the security check even I know the detail file location of 06 Prius.
For the repair maunal, the search function only showed 250 documents in the maximum, but if you go into submenu, you will find there are more than 250.

Finally, I just download 90% of total files by clicking each file in one day.

 

You're not stupid, the TIS interface is.

The 250 search-results limit is the biggest obstacle. If you work
around that by getting smaller chunks, you can generate a full
HTML index and preserve the directory structure -- this is important
because there are lots of relative [e.g. ../../../file/path] links
inside the PDFS. Once you've got that, "wget" the whole thing in
bulk.
.
I think that as of '06 the structure has changed a bit; a slightly
shallower dir structure and the longer, more numeric and less
meaningful filenames. And a lot of the relative links broke. I
found this to be true when I grabbed the '06 Highlander hybrid
stuff; haven't tried for '06 prius yet. Using that site gives me
hives. The only way I could manage to log in on it was to frontend
an IE box with a logging proxy, and grab the cookies out of its
log to plug into "wget" later. Their support people basically tell
you that unless you're running IE, you lose. Even recent firefox
with all the bells-n-whistles enabled couldn't deal with it.

I've confirmed that there are problems logging into the Toyota site with Acrobat 7, but Acrobat 6 still works. And I was able to use the web capture feature and "append all links on page" to download 250 PDF files at once and combine them into a single document. However, as someone else pointed out, there are more than 250 documents that need to be downloaded for at least one of the manuals. As long as you can come up with an efficient way to create the complete list of documents, downloading with Acrobat can save you a lot of time. I didn't investigate any further on how to build the complete document list. So all I can confirm is that the first 250 documents per manual are easy using Acrobat 6.

 

Hello!

I understand that the latest post here was 12 years ago and today is Oct 13 2018. But still may I ask how does techinfo at toyota at com look exactly? I need a few particular things. One of which is locate Prius C transmission fill plug location. Will I be able to do that for those $20 fee within 2 days allowed?

Thank you!

 

Should be easy. Try this post here for more info.
