Nope, still does not open the document. All I get is the "My Computer" window.
// add a link to the FRD
paragraph = new Paragraph("FRD:");
paragraph.add(Chunk.NEWLINE);
// This is the new code to try, per Paulo Soares
Chunk ck = new Chunk(cur_frd.filename(), FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, 10, Font.UNDERLINE, new java.awt.Color(0, 0, 255)));
ck.setAnchor("file:///".concat(cur_frd.filename().replace('\\','/')));
// This is the original code for the anchor
/*Anchor frdDoc = new Anchor(cur_frd.filename(), FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, 10, Font.UNDERLINE, new java.awt.Color(0, 0, 255)));
frdDoc.setReference("file:///".concat(cur_frd.filename()));
frdDoc.setName("frdDocLink");*/
paragraph.add(ck);
cell = new Cell(paragraph);
cell.setColspan(2);
table.addCell(cell);

This code works for me:
Chunk ck = new Chunk(text, font);
ck.setAnchor("file:///c:/consis_dump.txt");
document.add(new Paragraph(ck));
with both Acrobat and Reader 5.05.
