Remove "Approved" from Stamp Favorites List [2017]

How do I remove the "Approved" stamp from the stamp favorites list?  I right-clicked on it, selected remove but it is still there and the option to remove is now gone. I'd like to make a different stamp my default stamp, which I also added to the favorites list, but it keeps making the "Approved" stamp the default.

Hi AmandaJ,

You can't remove the "Approved" stamp from the list it is As design behaviour.

However, you can add another stamp to your favourite list.

To add a stamp to favourite list.

  • Apply the stamp(one you want to set as a favourite) to a file.
  • Click on the stamp.
  • Click on the stamp tool and choose "Add Current Stamp to Favourites."

Let us know if that helps.

I want to move "Approved" stamp from my favorites list so it defaults to the stamp I use daily.  I know I can't delete it I just want to move it!! If I could remove approved from favorites I wouldn't have to go in and pick which stamp I want to use.  Adobe please help me accomplish this simple setting change.  Thank you!

Some of us are working on network computers and the program files workaround won't suffice. I mean, why is it that important to default APPROVED there. If a user adds another stamp (completed for example), we should be able to remove approved as a favorite. Particularly if we never used the approved stamp and would prefer completed there.

I mean, the organizations are paying for Adobe Pro so you would think this would be an accessibility and pro type feature to offer paying users.

    Hi AmandaJ,

    Would you let us know the version of Acrobat/Reader you are using? Is it Mac or windows running machine you have?

    In the meantime, you may visit this help page: Add a stamp to a PDF in Adobe Acrobat DC and let us know if this helps.

    Adobe Acrobat Reader DC: Version 2017.009.20044

    Windows 7 Enterprise.

    That article does not address my question at all.  I want to change the default stamp.  I already know how to create one.  I know how to add it to the favorites list and even remove it from the favorites list.  I'm not interested in creating my own.  The "Approved" stamp seems to be locked as the default stamp in the favorites list and will not come off.   I want to change it to the stamp I use.
