digital form

Not on paper

Digital form refers to information stored or represented as electronic data rather than physical material.

A document in digital form exists as a computer file rather than paper: Submit your application in digital form.

The phrase distinguishes electronic versions from their tangible counterparts—a book in digital form is an ebook, a signature in digital form is typed or drawn electronically.
