Contact the NSF Research.gov Help desk. Not only will they be able to manipulate the file that’s giving you grief, but they’ll also be able to tell you how to convert the file to avoid system errors.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Research.gov question - LaTeX files converting to PDF
Has anyone been able to upload a PDF file that was generated from LaTeX into a Research.gov NSF proposal? It seems no matter how we attempt to create the PDF, Research.gov always gives errors for unallowable font type and size. We still get the error when we take the LaTeX file to PDF, save as a Word file, and then create another PDF.
Any thoughts would be most appreciated,
David
