Documents can be sent also in this format. I know what it means but I just can't think of how to say it in English.

Explanation:
supporto = media
electronic media includes CD-Roms, diskettes, hard disks, storage tapes or cartridges, Zip disks, etc. - anything that can be used to store or deliver files/documents.

Electronic format as suggested above refers not to the media or device itself, but the actual files.

Soft copy also refers to the actual files and not the physical media on which they are stored/delivered.

hope this helps...
