Ok, more progress has been made with the mangas. But unfortunately new obstacles are now in the way.
Appartently, the PDF files have a special lock on them, which prevents you from sharing them with another computer. So when my buddy in Japan sent me the zipped file, they came with a lock on them.
Another thing, i'm pretty sure you have to use Adobe 8.12 Japan version, to view them. But that's no problem, I was able to download it today. The only draw back is that you have to un-install your other Adobe, first.
The Japanese website would not let me download the files, so I figured you have to live in Japan to download them. And i'm pretty sure I was correct, because my friend had no trouble at all with them, and was able to view them on his Adobe easy.
So we are only left with a few options:
1) Figure out a way to get that lock off the files. The files were locked with this program:

2) Figure out a way to download the files directly from the Japanese website. All 8 mangas come to a total of about $28.00 U.S.
So i'm sure many of you wouldn't mind paying such a small fee.
3) Is it possible to save the images as JPGs, when they are on Adobe? Then once saved, they could be sent to me in a zipped file.
However, I don't know my buddy in Japan all that good, and he doesn't speak good English. So I would feel awful to ask him to do all this, because it's over 150 MB in the files.
So another option, is to track down someone who lives in Japan, who also speaks fluent English, and offer to pay them for their help.
Well guys, that's all I can think of. What do you think?
