saving in Acrobat

I want to script Adobe Acrobat 5 to convert tiff files to pdf.
When Acrobat opens a tiff file the window has a pdf extension but I cannot script it to save the file.


The dictionary says:
save reference -- The document to be saved
to file specification -- An alias to the file in which to save the document
[using reference] -- file conversion to use (only valid with 'Save as'
[linearize boolean] -- Whether the document should be saved as linearized



I have tried different variations along the lines of:

set pics to path to pictures folder
tell application "Acrobat 5.0"
	activate
	set d to active doc
	save d to pics
end tell

but I cannot get it to save.
This occurs no matter hat the initial file format.
The active window's name changes to a multidigit number but no save occurs.


Any help with a way to save or an alternative for the file conversion would be much appreciated.
