In many cases, the subject matter of the journal is less the defining element than the publisher. Publishers contract out for typesetting and composition, and that's who dictates the file format. | |

If you were to submit only the PDF, the process of converting it back to LaTeX would be unnecessarily time-consuming and error-prone. | |
