[OS X TeX] Spaces in file or folder names

Yes, symbolic links will work.
In case it is possible to rename the files to names without spaces, you 
could simply put a symbolic link to the original folder into your 
document folder and would be able to acces the files as 
/symlinkname/filname.pdf or something.

There is a nice contextual menu plugin named SymbolicLinker which 
enables you to create SymLinks without having to use the Terminal (-> 
macupdate.com. You will find FileWrangler there as well, which is very 
useful to batch-rename your files and replaces spaces with 
underscores).

Best,
Matthias
