Adobe Typekit Fonts: Allow users to link to their Adobe Typekit Licensed Stylesheet

Our eDocBuilder system relies heavily on Adobe products: InDesign and PDFs. Adobe has provided a way for licensed users to link to their stylesheet (the license is in the link) to use their fonts in their designs. See: https://www.screencast.com/t/KLPVUQf34fDw. The user is licensed to use the font, package the InDesign file with their licensed fonts (Adobe provides an exe with the package to allow the packaged file to access their licensed font), and then use the PDF created, still using their packaged file, to print the file. As long as the printer has a license as well, they will be able to print the file with the correct fonts. If the end user doesn't have it, they won't be able to use the font. In the case of the Canon school customers, they are using Adobe with their Canon printer, so the end-file is really still their file with a licensed font. 

 

So my idea is this: Allow users to link to their Adobe Typekit Licensed Stylesheet in eDocBuilder

    Although I would love to have the ability to enter our Creative Cloud credentials and have the Abode fonts available within the eDocBuilder templates, I'm nearly positive that the license is not compatible with this use. If it is, then this should absolutely be implemented, as it would be incredibly handy for use across any number of templates.
