Question

Blue background when I click on my article.

the tool looks like a large plus sign; when I click it then entire background is blue.  I want to highlight and copy parts of my document.

 

How do I turn that tool off?

It's an image (probably the result of a scan), which means you can only select it as such, and not as individual text.

Using something like Acrobat it will be possible to run Text Recognition on the file and then, if the results are successful, copy the text directly, but that's not possible with the free Reader.

May be that this is scanned document.
