How to hide annotation related context menu while viewing PDF using Adobe Embed API

Is there a way to hide or disable context menus (Add sticky note and Use Drawing tool) when a PDF file is viewed on Web page using Adobe Embed API.

Our customized implementation use case ask to restrict user to perform annotation based on its profile and hence need to ensure PDF is viewed but annotation is not allowed for user. 

Currently I don't see any configuration to hide annotation related contex menu or disable them.

Attached is screen shot.

    At the time of this writing, you cannot prevent the context menus from appearing if the annotations are active.
