PDF function "the file was not available on the website"

I have a container with some texts and a gallery inside and I created a button that generates a PDF of this container and an attachment control for the user to download this PDF file (I also activated the PDF function in the app settings). However, whenever I click to download the PDF in the attachment control, the message "the file was not available on the site" appears and the file is not downloaded.
 
This is the function in the OnSelect of my button:
 
Set(var_pdf; PDF(MyContainer; {ExpandContainers: true}))
 
This is the function in the Items of my attachment control:

{
Name: "file.pdf";
Value: var_pdf
}

 
What am I doing wrong?
