Hi Kiran,

It is not possible to use popPath() on a Stamp Annotation. This is because popPath removes the last line segment of an annotation. Since the Stamp Annotation contains no line segments/paths it can not extend the functionality of popPath. To remove a Stamp Annotation I recommend using the [deleteAnnotation API](https://pdfjs.express/api/CoreControls.AnnotationManager.html#deleteAnnotation__anchor) like so:  
`instance.annotManager.deleteAnnotation(annotation)`

Cheers,  
Dustin
