For the chunk, I'm adding for the Drawing Number _PWS0002_, _PWS000__3_, _PWS000__4_, &___PWS000__5_. What I expect is these drawing numbers to be the URL.
And that's exactly the case when I adapt your example. See attachments. First I wrote the code you should have written: using PdfPTable.Maybe you have a specific reason for not using PdfPTable, so I also added an example using separator chunks.
Finally, I used your "poor man's table" solution by padding the strings. In all try cases, the underlined chunk marks the clickable area.
