Who can be certain about anything? But there's no evidence to the contrary.

In fact, the five iterations of the anti-terror 'after-action' report at issue in the case were printed out from a hard drive at the Archives and have no notations at all.
...
The report also stated "There were not any handwritten notes on the documents Mr. Berger removed from the archives. Mr. Berger did not believe there was unique information in the three documents he destroyed. Mr. Berger never made any copies of these documents."
...
“By his fourth and final visit to review documents and prepare for testimony before the 9/11 Commission, the Archives staff had grown suspicious of how Mr. Berger was handling the documents, so they numbered each one in pencil on the back. When one of the—No. 217—was apparently removed from the files by Mr. Berger, the staff reprinted a copy and replaced it for his review. According the the report, Mr. Berger then proceeded to slip the second copy “under his portfolio also.”

All of this says he was stealing printouts of digitally stored data. He stole 217, they printed out another, and he stole it again.
Presumably, they could have printed out a ream of 217s for him to steal. If he had taken originals, a simple inventory would have made that clear.
