Yes.

I tried with the following configuration, but it still creates 3
frames, as shown in the attchment:
(use-package pdf-tools
:ensure t
:init
(pdf-tools-install)
:config
(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)))))
;; TODO: I guess there's a better way for this case, i.e., something with
;; invoking display-buffer with reusable-frames parameter or something.
(progn
(select-frame frame)
(switch-to-buffer buffer))
(display-buffer-pop-up-frame
buffer (cons
'(pop-up-frame-parameters (th/pdf-frame . t))
alist))))
(add-to-list 'display-buffer-alist
`((derived-mode . pdf-view-mode)
th/display-buffer-in-my-pdf-frame))
)
