During the transfer of data to/from the device?

Sounds like bigger problems then. If that's a concern, encrypt the file
before attaching and copying to the USB media. Just be sure to have the
appropriate decryption tools on the air gapped system.

If that's realistically a concern, download the PDFs on a machine that
has no PDF rendering capability, securely copy to an encrypted USB media
and read on an air-gapped system with only a PDF reader installed. Done.
