Should the required Covid19 documentation be printed on paper when travelling to France?
Currently according to the Ryan Air website entering France requires filling two specific forms due to the Covid19 situation:
- A sworn statement of absence of symptoms, officially required by French authorities
- A passenger locator form (which seems to be a requirement from Ryan Air)
I would like to know if these documents must be printed on paper, or is it enough to have them in electronic format in my phone?

If you scroll down the page you linked to, you will notice there is a link to a website to submit all the info required for a trip to and from the French overseas territorities and generate a QR code. Something similar was introduced mid-way through the lock-down in March-April. Nothing is available for trips to mainland France from abroad.
That's a clear sign that when the authorities intend to allow these forms to be used electronically, they will explicitely provide a solution to fill them in that way. If none is available, the form must be printed.

Answer 2
The link is only for the passenger locator form, the question asks about the sworn statement.
So it seems for now this must be printed. Local libraries often offer printing services and theres plenty of other stores that do this too.
Theres really no excuse for not having the proper documentation, you will be stopped and refused entry to your flight.
