Can I stop paper port from coming to foreground during scans?

I have a customer with paper port 14. They start scanning a large document, and then switch to their main (non paper port) application. The problem is that with each page that is scanned the Paperport app comes to the foreground.
Customer wants to keep it in the background. ( They scan a lot of pages) .  Complaint is that they can't enter data into their app while Paperport is scanning.  

Any Ideas on how to keep paper port in the background (after switching to another app)  while scanning?

HP Desktop i5  , 64 bit Win7  , PaperPort 14.5

Oh, Just a note ... this didn't happen with PaperPort 12 on their 32 bit system.

Are they using PaperPort?  If not, uninstall it!

There is definitely enough information to confirm an answer. The answer is not what the asker wants to hear, but it IS the answer! Sometimes "NO" or "This can't be done" is the answer.

I have been using PaperPort for more than 20 years. I have written extensively on it, both here at EE and elsewhere. I am a Moderator of a PaperPort Yahoo Group, Manager of a PaperPort Google Group, and Owner of a PaperPort Wiki. Because of this, I have direct access to PaperPort's Tier 3 Technical Support. The response I posted is from them — Tier 3 Technical Support — and the answer is:
Nuance has determined this behavior cannot be changed in 14 and will be investigated for inclusion in 15.
Therefore, I believe that this post should be the Accepted Solution:
