We need a way to select multiple objects & rearrange multiple path points at once.

This probably comes from working so heavily in InDesign, but I would love to see a feature to highlight multiple objects at once. As of yet, the simplest way I can see to do this is to drop a new frame above everything I want to move at once, move the frame, and then "remove the frame without deleting content". This is an overly complicated work-around to being able to highlight an entire group of objects at once. 

Similarly, there should be a "select everything" option -- command+A. If I've decided I want it all to be at a higher level and zoom into the presentation further, there's not an easy way to make that change.

Lastly, from a planning standpoint, it's difficult to move path points around. Is there a particular reason you can only move one path point at a time? There should be an option to highlight multiple path points, just in the pages in Adobe Acrobat or InDesign, which you can then drag to a new order in the path.

Another way to make this easier is to allow a wider view of the path panel. If I can see a storyboard view of the path points, I have a better idea of how my presentation looks overall, and I can more easily rearrange frames as needed. Powerpoint does this, as do all the Adobe products I've already mentioned.
