Form not sending file when submitted with Jquery

I have this form:

           <label for="pdffile">Upload</label>
 <form class="form-horizontal" role="form" method="POST" name="upload" id="upload" enctype="multipart/form-data">
               {{ csrf_field() }}
            <input type="file" id="pdffile" style="display:none" form="upload"
          </form>

It is supposed to be submitted with this jquery:

$('#pdffile').change(function() {
    $('#upload').attr("action", "/upload").submit();
});

However when I check in PHP, nothing is uploaded:

dd($request)

Always gives me back null instead of the requested item.

Any help?

Your input does not have name

<input type="file" id="pdffile" style="display:none" form="upload"

change to 

<input type="file" id="pdffile" style="display:none" name="upload"/>

and in your action you can use $_FILES to get upload file
