If you have iCloud Drive turned on in your MacBook Air, go to Finder and either use the Finder sidebar or the Finder "Go" menu to access the iCloud Drive folder and double-click the pdf file (or open it the same way as other files).

If you don't have and don't want iCloud Drive turned on in your Mac, use an Internet browser and log into www.icloud.com and go to iCloud Drive there and open the file.
