It does use creator and extension,
I was reading something about how OSX decides which to use
and in what order.
Can't remember where I read about, I think it was in the xcode documentation,
maybe in the creating icons for your script or Nib???

I suppose you could toss in a:
tell application "Finder"

I'm finding OS X weird about saving files. I save a PDF from Acrobat into a
new filename and it doesn't seem to have a Mac OS file type and creator
because if I go to open that file on a pre-OS X Mac, the file has a generic
icon. Maybe I'm mistaken and OS X just looks at the file extension, but I
thought it still used file type and creator type for backward compatibility
or whatever.

It seems that all pdfs made with the same application will be changed

to select one of
each type and change their open with settings.
I may be wrong but I think that's how it works.
