I can find this from Reuters (reuters.com), and this one from the AP (apnews.com). That's the best I've got; both of those articles talk to law professors, one from Yale and one from the University of Minnesota.
Thanks for the links, but I wouldn't use Reuters and AP as fact checkers. Their integrity is more than questionable, as they are run by pro-democrats.
I can't blame you on that. It seems that sites which lean any other direction don't comment on or bring up that fact specifically.
Unfortunately I can't find any other data about the document's status. It would be interesting to know if the SOTU addresses get filed.
My guess is that he ignored her when she wanted to shake his hand (he didn't shake Pence's at all) right after giving her a copy of the speech (youtu.be), which looks totally official, telling from the cover. And that's where we should focus.
Look at her face when it happens, she clearly tried to play it as funny but deep down she was boiling, and that's why she waited til the end to get back to him with tearing down the documents.
