You mentioned that you're using the iTextSharp to merge the documents, but how did you manage to do that?
The iTextSharp is capable of merging only the PDF files, not Word files.

Is your requirement to merge multiple Word documents into a single PDF document?
Nevertheless the question still remains, how exactly are you merging those Word documents?
If you can provide that information then I'll show you how you can create bookmarks at the start of each merged document and how you can create a hyperlink that when clicked will jump to the required bookmark's place. You would also place a text content equal to the document's name in those bookmarks.

Also just as an FYI did you consider creating a TOC (Table of Content) element and placing a "Heading 1" paragraph with a document's name text at the beginning of each merged document?
I'm not sure if this would suite your needs because the other documents content could mess up the TOC's entries.

It doesn't quite work like that.
We do not do your work for you.
If you want someone to write your code, you have to pay - I suggest you go to Freelancer.com and ask there.

But be aware: you get what you pay for. Pay peanuts, get monkeys.

I already have written code for merging the doc using itext sharp but not getting the idea to index all the document in one page.
