You can control the behavior of the popup menu with the following PTToolManagerDelegate method: toolManager(_:, shouldShowMenu:, forAnnotation:, onPageNumber:). You would want to return false from the method to disable the menu from appearing.

Note that if you are using a PTDocumentController to show the document, then you will need to create a subclass and override that method:

class CustomDocumentController : PTDocumentController {
    
    override func toolManager(_ toolManager: PTToolManager,
                              shouldShowMenu menuController: UIMenuController,
                              forAnnotation annotation: PTAnnot?,
                              onPageNumber pageNumber: UInt) -> Bool {
        // Uncomment to disable popup menu in all scenarios.
        // return false
        
        if annotation == nil {
            // No annotation is selected.
            if toolManager.tool as? PTPanTool != nil {
                // This is the long-press menu over blank space in the document.
                
                // Uncomment to disable long-press menu.
                // return false
            } else if toolManager.tool as? PTTextSelectTool != nil {
                // This is the text-selection menu shown for selected text.
                
                // Disable text-selection menu.
                return false
            }
        }
        
        // Use default menu behavior from superclass.
        return super.toolManager(toolManager,
                                 shouldShowMenu: menuController,
                                 forAnnotation: annotation,
                                 onPageNumber: pageNumber)
    }
    
}

The code above will disable the text-selection menu, but leave the long-press (over blank space) and annotation-selection menus enabled. You can uncomment the commented-out lines to control those menus as well if you want.
