Short answer: admins who care can usually tell. PDF files carry metadata and other traces that reveal how they were produced, so converting a Word document to PDF does not reliably hide the original editor.

Where they look: open the PDF in a reader and check File -> Properties (Description). Common fields are Author, Creator and Producer; Creator often records the application that generated the PDF, and Producer records the converter. On a workstation you can dump metadata with common tools, for example:

pdfinfo mydocument.pdf
exiftool mydocument.pdf

How to reduce traces: in Word run File -> Info -> Check for Issues -> Inspect Document and remove document properties and personal information before exporting. When you Save As -> PDF, check the Options dialog for choices about including document properties or structure tags. Note that removing the Author entry is different from the Creator/Producer values that the PDF generator inserts; those often remain and can indicate Word or the PDF printer used. Printing through a different PDF driver can change Producer/Creator, but an experienced reviewer or a script can still infer origin.

Recommended approach: ask the admin whether a PDF exported from Word is acceptable. If they explicitly require the Lutex source or a document created natively in the requested tool, follow that instruction. If the concern is formatting (equations, numbering, templates) — as hinted — verify that your Word export preserves the required formatting and check the resulting PDF properties yourself before submitting. Also be aware that deliberately trying to disguise the origin can violate academic or submission rules.

There's some option (not installed by default) called the "Equation Editor". Go with this..
