How to increase timeout for pupetteer's Page.pdf when getting "TimeoutError: waiting for Page.printToPDF failed"?

I'm getting "TimeoutError: waiting for Page.printToPDF failed" when trying to convert to PDF a large invoice:

Unhandled Rejection at: Promise Promise { <rejected>
 TimeoutError: waiting for Page.printToPDF failed: timeout 30000ms exceeded

As Julien mentioned, Set timeout to 0. 

const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.pdf({
    printBackground: true,
    displayHeaderFooter: false,
    timeout: 0,
});

In createPDFStream method of puppeteer/lib/cjs/puppeteer/common/Page.js, timeout appears as an option:

2007         const { scale = 1, displayHeaderFooter = false, headerTemplate = '', footerTemplate = '', printBackground = false, landscapdscape = false, pageRanges = '', preferCSSPageSize = false, margin = {}, omitBackground = false, timeout = 30000, } = options;
[...]
2045         const result = await helper_js_1.helper.waitWithTimeout(printCommandPromise, 'Page.printToPDF', timeout);

So despite timeout not being a documented option at https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/blob/main/docs/api.md#pagepdfoptions, it does seem as though it is an option for the .pdf method.
