ACF repeater values and domPDF

I am using domPDF to generate PDFs on certain pages of my site

The problem I am having is that it won’t allow me to use repeater values (via any sort of loop), it doesn’t seem to want to generate them when the PDF is created.

If I call the repeater field itself as a variable, it returns ‘array’, so I assume it’s possible to get it working, somehow.

It appears the repeaters first need to be generated and then included (perhaps as a variable?), but I’m unsure of how to do this.

Does anyone have any idea of how I can get this to work?

Thanks

This is the code I’ve tried using: https://paste.ofcode.org/VfWAbHK2X2VSwvHFBXpCY4

At this point I’d be willing to pay $50 for the correct answer (assuming it’s easy enough). I just need a way of displaying those repeater fields in a list in the PDF.

If it can all be created before the PDF code is generated, then stored as a variable somehow, I can include the variable in the PDF code and it should work.

Nevermind, this was how:

			if( have_rows('team_contact_details')) :
				while(have_rows('team_contact_details')) : the_row();
					$content .= '<h3>'. get_sub_field('contact_label') .'</h3>';
					
					if(get_sub_field('contact_link') == 'phone') {
						$content .= '<div>'. get_sub_field('phone_number') .'</div>';
					} else {
						$content .= '<div>'. get_sub_field('email_address') .'</div>';
					}
				endwhile;
			endif;
