I'm not quite sure what you're asking. Does this point you in the right direction?

set theName to name of document
set theName to theName & (14 as string)

or

set theName to theName & (myPageNo as string)

Actually, the "as string" is probably not needed because the & operator instructs AppleScript to coerce the integer to a string.

Still, you will need to do that if you want to add leading zeros:

set myString to myPageNo as string
repeat until length of myString > 4
set myString to "0" & myString
end repeat
