PDF Split & Merge
Merge PDFs, extract or reorder pages, rotate pages, and add page numbers, watermarks, or password protection in the production PDF Split & Merge workbench.
PDF Split & Merge is the page-management workbench in the Text To Table Converter add-on. It is separate from PDF Editor, which is the annotation tool for adding text, highlights, drawings, shapes, images, and comments.
Open Extensions > Text To Table Converter > PDF & Image Tools > PDF Split & Merge, or open the matching action from the sidebar. Each time you open it counts as one premium use (Free: 20 per 30 days, Pro: unlimited).
PDF Editor is a different tool
Choose PDF Editor when you need annotations. Choose PDF Split & Merge when you need to combine files or change page structure.

Processing and privacy
Page organization is performed in the browser. Files chosen from Google Drive must first be made available to the workbench, and saving a result to Drive sends the completed output back to Google Drive.
