pdf viewer and the web browser are all together a separate thing.
you can never have single JavaScript which can manage both these things.

If they are of different domain then because of Same Origin Policy, you will not be able to access the content of Iframe. If both the iframes are pointing to same domain then i can suggest you the code to access the content of the iframe.
