Fonts and OO3Pro

You guys are so brilliant, that I am going to risk a very slightly off 
topic question. Situation is this:

I am currently giving courses at Xiamen University in China, using 
Keynote for the presentation side of things. But to save the hassle of 
having to wait around too long while the students laboriously write 
down everything they see on-screen, I am providing PDF versions of the 
presentation content for downloading. Originally, I just exported to 
PDF from within Keynote, but the results are huge, one page per screen 
files. So I am exploring using OO3Pro to produce the structure in an 
outline which I can then export and tweak easily within Keynote. I 
export the outline to RTF and import that into InDesign to produce a 
printer-friendly version that I then export to PDF. So far so good, 
though graphics placed in OO3 don't export as far as I can see.

My question is this. Adobe CS comes with a number of fonts, 
particularly Adobe Garamond Pro which I want for the PDF version, but 
neither OO3 nor Keynote, or any other non-Adobe CS app currently has 
access to those fonts. It would be really great if I could make them, 
especially the Garamond, available generally on this machine, so that I 
could use them in creating the outline in OO3, thereby saving a lot of 
fiddling around later in InDesign. How do I do that?

Thanks very much for your help.
