The tools appear under the edit menu.

To organize individual pages within a file, just hover over the file and expand the pages. You can drag and drop to organize individual pages. You can also select multiple pages to rotate and delete them, which we’ll go ahead and do. Enter a new file name, and then you’ll see the combined button up here which will select, and this will create a high quality Adobe PDF that preserves fonts, formatting, and layout.

In this particular example, the combined file even has hypertext links.

And the newly combined file is automatically saved back to Google Drive. Another time saver is the ability to convert PDF files into other document formats using the export PDF tool.
