Prevent Adobe Embed Player's Comment Panel from Showing After Highlighting

Hi, my application does auto-highlighting after it searches through a pdf for key words.  The highlighting is triggering the comments panel to come out, but I don't want to show the comments panel on auto highlight.  I only want to show the comments panel when the user attempts to manually highlight.  Is there a way to disable the panel from appearing after auto-highlight?

Thanks!

Matt
