What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Have HMTL page that is quite large (mine was 5.4mb, and renders to over 1k pages in pdf form)
(2) Hit CTRL+P
(3) Wait for browser to crash (takes a long time)

Other browsers don't have a print preview - and this is mainly for the purpose of saving to PDF from print dialog or using Puppeteer to generate pdfs.  We have an option for users to generate a PDF of their cities entire legal code (users work for cities, and our software manages their cities code) and we've decided puppeteer is awesome because it supports any web features chrome supports - however we had to resort to a hack in which we generate several (usually about 10-20) pdfs individually and combine them by splitting their code by "title".  To have accurate page numbers after generating each segment PDF we see it's page count and add that to the total.  Then for the next PDF we include the total number of pages thus far worth of divs that say "page-break-after: always", and give puppeteer a page range to save so we don't get that many blank pages.

What is the expected result?
Browser doesn't crash.


What happens instead?
Browser crashes.

What solutions would I like to see?
Obviously if the browser could merely "work" when generating giant pdfs, that would be great.  But I understand that having such a giant dom tree and generating a pdf can be difficult - and it's easier for us to "split" the task into smaller trees that do fit in memory more easily.
That being said, this would be much easier if much like the configurations available to puppeteer for displaying headers and footers, providing them templates, and defining page sizes for pdfs, if you could provide a "page number offset".  This would also make various other tasks much easier.  If this is the solution you choose to implement, you may want to warn users their page is too large for printing and saving to pdf when they hit ctrl+p rather than just loading for 15 minutes and then crashing.
