A good question (it would be nice if the Dictionary panel worked in PDF
views), with a simple answer:

Preview (or at least the view it uses to display PDFs) simply doesn't
implement the necessary TSM/TSM Document Access/Accessibility support needed
by the Dictionary service.
(/System/Library/Components/DictionaryService.component)

Maybe it's time to file an enhancement request...
