It's interesting that this came, seemingly out of the blue, a little after it was made widely known (from the mozhacks article [1]) that Opera developers were working towards integrating pdf.js into their Chromium fork.
And Opera announced their move to the Chromium Content API and WebKit around a fortnight before Blink was announced.
And note that isn't the first time there's been Opera interest in pdf.js — I spent the majority of summer 2012 working on trying to get pdf.js running well in Presto, as was relatively well known around pdf.js contributors.
