The Chromium PDF viewer was built from the Foxit PDF SDK.

Was Chromium Edge using that PDF viewer previously? Is this just moving to a new PDF viewer based on Acrobat SDKs?

It was PDFium which is the open source version of Foxit. So yeah looks like they are just moving to closed source Adobe just like the old days with the Active plugin in IE.
