Works for me (both on Windows Vista and Windows XP).

Moreover: if you use the Anchor object, iText creates such a link
internally. So... if you don't succeed in making such a link the hard
way, why don't you create one the easy way: create a Chunk, use
setAnchor(), wrap it in a Phrase and add it to the document with ColumnText.
Or: get the iText source code and find out how Anchor objects, or Chunks
with an anchor attribute, are added by iText internally.

I don't understand why the question is recurring over and over on the list.

*SIGH*

See the example and the attached PDF.
Isn't that what you need?
If so, please tell me what is wrong with the documentation.
