Thank you for your wonderful tricks/tips/codes once more. This time,
it can work perfectly according to the intention discussed here using
the following configuration:
(use-package pdf-tools
:ensure t
:init
(pdf-tools-install)
(setq pdf-sync-backward-display-action
'(display-buffer-reuse-window (reusable-frames . t)))
(defun th/display-buffer-in-my-pdf-frame (buffer alist)
(if-let ((frame (car (seq-filter
(lambda (f) (frame-parameter f 'th/pdf-frame))
(frame-list)))))
(display-buffer-use-some-frame
buffer `((frame-predicate . ,(lambda (f)
(frame-parameter f 'th/pdf-frame)))))
(display-buffer-pop-up-frame
buffer (cons
'(pop-up-frame-parameters (th/pdf-frame . t))
alist))))
;; PDFs in a dedicated pdf frame.
(add-to-list 'display-buffer-alist
`((derived-mode . pdf-view-mode)
th/display-buffer-in-my-pdf-frame))
)

Thank you for hints. But the Elisp code you mentioned requires a
significant level of proficiency in Elisp programming. Even if I
understand the underlying mechanics of the problem being discussed, it
may still be challenging to write the corresponding code
implementation without a strong foundation in Elisp.
