Placing a PDF in CS5 – was working in CS4!

Question

Hi
Below is an extract from a script that places a PDF in to a frame on a page, it was working in CS4 but it has broke in CS5. It all works up to the placing of the PDF – The error message reads Error: -1708 Error String "insert:File path to the PDF" doesn't understand the place message.
Heres the script…
tell active document
               –make layers
               set myLayer to make layer with properties {name:"impo-PDF", layer color:red, visible:true}
           end tell
           repeat with x from 1 to pageCountPDF
               set myPage to page x of active document
               –set the pdf import options
               set page number of PDF place preferences to x
               set PDF crop of PDF place preferences to crop media
               set transparent background of PDF place preferences to false
               – start placing the PDF
               – set frame size
               set lhboxBounds to {0, 0, 312, 111}
               tell myPage
                   set myRectangle to make rectangle with properties {geometric bounds:lhboxBounds, fill color:"None", stroke color:"None", stroke weight:0}
                   –Rotate pdf ?
                   set myPlacedPDF1 to place thePDF with properties {rotation angle:myPDFrotation + 90} on myRectangle
                   set myPlacedPDF1 to item 1 of myPlacedPDF1
                   –re-position PDF within frame
                   fit myRectangle given center content
                   – dupe up frame
                   move (duplicate myRectangle) by {111, 0}
                   move (duplicate myRectangle) by {222, 0}
                   move (duplicate myRectangle) by {333, 0}
               end tell
Any help would be great as I can't find anything on this
many thanks

Hi
This is only an extract of a bigger script, thePDF is set earlier…
set theFilePath to file path of document 1
set myFileName to myDocName & ".pdf"
set thePDF to (theFilePath & myFileName) as string
thanks
