If the pdf is shown in a buffer of another frame makes no difference to
forward/inverse search as long its the same emacs instance.  This should
work for you:

(add-to-list 'display-buffer-alist
             '((derived-mode . pdf-view-mode)
               display-buffer-pop-up-frame))

It tells emacs to open buffers where pdf-view-mode is the major-mode to
be opened in a separate frame.
