What do you mean? I predict the majority of PDFs on arxiv are generated from latex just based on the fields who mainly use it. In fact many papers contain the tex source files.

What I mean is, if you try to upload the PDF from LaTeX, it will complain and tell you to upload the sources (which it then compiles to a PDF).
