M-x apropos-command RET pdf page RET quickly revealed pdf-view-goto-page
which is bound do M-g g by default.

The pdf is shown in a buffer so the same commands apply as for any other
buffer.  E.g., you can split the current window with C-x 2 or C-x 3.  Or
if you mean you want to show the pdf in a separate frame, then C-x 5 2.

If you always want to spawn a new frame when finding a PDF document, I
guess you have to add a rule to display-buffer-alist.
