I think the bbl file is what I meant. It's created from the source and bib file, and arXiv refuses to accept the one that is created by overleaf. I really dislike arXiv for demanding the full source and refusing pdfs, but then insisting you also provide a file that is generated from that source, but not accepting that file unless it's generated with specific builders.
- abhgh 7y agoOh that's surprising. I uploaded content generated by overleaf (they provide a arXiv compatible dump of your project) a month or so ago and it worked smoothly (after uploading to arXiv I deleted the bib file of course).
- mschuetz 7y agoI tried about a year ago and about half a year ago, respectively. Both times, the exported bbl file hat a different version than the one accepted by arXiv. First time, the bbl version was too old. Second time, the bbl version was too new. First time, I ended up printing the latex generated pdf file so that arXiv wouldn't recognize it as a Latex produced file. That kinda sucked because in the printed pdf, you couldn't select text or access references. Second time that didn't work anymore because arXiv added a check to prevent users from uploading printed pdfs. I ended up simply hosting it at our institute page and abandoning arXiv.
