Does Reader support saveas conversion to tiff?

Question

Hello,
I am working on a form that has javascript to save the document as TIFF images.  The scripting works fine in both Adobe Standard and Pro.  However, when the document is saved as "Reader Extended PDF" in pro then opened in Reader X, the file conversion run by the submit button fails. 
I have read that Adobe Reader X had issues where it only supported save functions to temp or appdata folders, but an update (10.1?) was supposed to address this issue.
The code in the folder level js file is:
mySaveAs = app.trustPropagatorFunction(function(doc, path)
     app.beginPriv();
        doc.saveAs(path, "com.adobe.acrobat.tiff");
     app.endPriv();
myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc = app.trustedFunction(function(doc, file_path)
     // Privileged and/or non-privileged code above
     app.beginPriv();
try{
          mySaveAs(doc, file_path);
app.alert("Thank You - File Has Been Saved And Will Print Next",3);
}catch(e){
app.alert("Could Not Save File - Please Contact Administrator");
this.print({bUI: false, nStart:1, nEnd:1, bSilent: true, bShrinkToFit: true});
this.closeDoc(true);
app.openDoc("/C/waivers/myfile.pdf");
     app.endPriv();
Code under button is:
// Get the field value
var fn = this.getField("PrintedFullName").valueAsString;
// Specify the folder
var fldr = "/c/waivers/";
// Determine the full path
var file_path = fldr + fn + "_" + myDateString() + ".tiff";
// Save the file
myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc(this,file_path);
On clicking the submit button, I get the error in the app.alert above "Could Not Save File" in ReaderX, however it works perfectly in Standard or Pro.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated....this is the last hurdle before we can call this completed!  Thanks!

Just execute that code from the JS console. If TIFF conversion is not available, then you're out of luck.
It might be possible to develop a Reader plugin that does that, but you'll need to ask in the Acrobat SDK forum about that.
My understanding is the JS console isn't available in reader without adding scripts, changing registry settings and then it doesn't show unless you add code to pop it up or it blows an erorr.  Is this true on Reader or is there an easier way to find this out.
Man....I have to believe someone has run into this and just knows if Reader supports TIFF saveas versus doing a bunch of reghack to test it myself. You'd think this would just be documented clearly somewhere at Adobe. Yikes.
Anyone know for sure before I start modding my test pilot PC just to find out?
