Saving PDF "Blobs" in Google Scripts

I'm trying to populate a folder with a list of pdf documents I've created using Google Scripts. But when I obtain a PDF file, which I guess is a "Blob", I can't find any functionality to move this file to a specified folder. Ultimately I would like to do something like this:

  var temp = target.getAs("application/pdf");
  var targetFolder = DocsList.getFolder(TARGET_FOLDER);

  temp.addToFolder(targetFolder);

Unfortunately addToFolder is not a thing. Is there anyway to accomplish this? Thanks!

The folder object has a createFile() method that takes a blob as argument.

use it like this :

  var temp = target.getAs("application/pdf");
  var targetFolder = DocsList.getFolderById('0B3qS__folder ID____dsMTFZMDQ')
  targetFolder.createFile(temp);// this will create the pdf file directly in the folder
