get list of PDF files

I am having trouble getting the finder to return a list of PDF files.


tell application "Finder"
set theList to items in folder sourceFolder whose default application is
(appPath as alias)
end tell

I have tried :

...file creator is "CARO"

...file type is "PDF "

...default application is "Macintosh HD:Applications (Mac OS 9):Adobe:Acrobat
Reader 5.0:Acrobat Reader 5.0" (with and without alias)

...and several other options without any success.

This works with other file types and I am perplexed why PDFs are not complying.

Anybody have any ideas???
