A soft copy (sometimes spelled "softcopy") is an electronic copy of some type of data, such as a file viewed on a computer's display or transmitted as an e-mail attachment. Such material, when printed, is referred to as a hard copy.

Before electronic documents, ALL documents were hard copy. A hard copy of a document is a printed copy like a printed report or even a book on a shelf in the library.

If a printed book is a hard copy then what's the obvious name for an electronic version?  A soft copy!  Soft copy formats include, but are not limited to, text files, PDF files, word processor files, web-based documents and others.
