Typescript build errors: TS2323 and TS2309

[RaminRabani]

Describe the bug
In my TypeScript project I upgraded from "@react-pdf/renderer": "^3.1.6", to "@react-pdf/renderer": "^3.3.3", and now my build fails with a ton of the following errors

There are a lot more errors like these.

I went to that file node_modules/@react-pdf/renderer/index.d.ts and the same errors are present. I tried downgrading back to version 3.1.6 but these errors are still present.

To Reproduce

1. Upgrade "@react-pdf/renderer": "^3.3.3" in a TypeScript project
2. Go to node_modules/@react-pdf/renderer/index.d.ts
3. Observe the TS errors above

Expected behavior
The type errors above not to exist

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: MacOS
• Browser: chrome
• React-pdf version: 3.3.3 (but errors still exist if I downgrade back to 3.1.6, which was previously working fine)

Update: I realized that having "@react-pdf/renderer": "^3.1.6" with the caret ^ was the issue. Once I upgraded from 3.1.6 to 3.3.3 (which has the Typescript issues posted above), no amount of deleting my node_modules folder or yarn.lock would matter since subsequent yarn install's would then install the latest compatible version (3.3.4) because of the ^.

I removed the caret and changed back to 3.1.6: "@react-pdf/renderer": "3.1.6" (without the caret this time, ensuring 3.1.6 is actually installed), and the Typescript errors did not show up in the build.

FYI the TypeScript issues begin with @react-pdf/renderer version 3.2.0. It works fine without the TypeScript errors up until version 3.1.17. Would appreciate if this could be fixed. Thank you

I had the same issue with version ^3.1.9. Downgraded to 3.1.6 without the caret with no issues.

@diegomura This is marked as closed but I am still seeing the same exact Typescript errors if I upgrade to the latest version 3.3.5

@RaminRabani - Please see #2624 that is your issue

Adding "skipLibCheck": true in tsconfig.json worked for me.
