    Howdy kaont09,

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.

     

    The article below should answer your question about transferring PDFs from your MacBook Air to your iPhone 6 and viewing them on your iOS device. 

    Use iBooks with PDF documents on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

    Sync and save PDFs

    To add PDFs to your iTunes library on your computer, drag and drop the PDF into your iTunes Book library. If you're using OS X Mavericks or later, drag and drop your PDFs into your iBooks library using iBooks for Mac.

    If you are using Manually Manage Music or Videos, disable the option in the Syncing Summary tab.

    To sync a PDF from your computer to iBooks on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:

    1. Select your iOS device. (Learn how to sync your data with iTunes.)
    2. Click the Books tab.
    3. Select Sync Books.
    4. If iTunes is set to sync only selected books, select the checkbox next to the PDF you want to sync.
    5. Click Sync.

    You can also use iTunes to back up your PDF files so that they will restore to your iOS device after you update or restore your software or transfer information to a different device. To transfer PDFs to your computer and back them up, transfer purchases from your iOS device to your computer. These files are not in an iTunes Backup. Learn more about what's contained in iTunes and iCloud backups.

     

    So long.
