Try below code.
I have made some changes in it. You need to render a dynamic HtmlAnchor and place the link of it in Literal rather then placing a open/save dialog box.

In aspx add one Literal control.

<asp:Literal ID="ltrPdfLink" runat="server"></asp:Literal>

Replace your code with below one. You need to modify some parameters in below function as per your requirement like VirtualFilePath.

public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
    {
        string exfile = "";
        String sfilepath = context.Server.MapPath("pdf");
        string pdffile = sfilepath + "//" + "cat.pdf";
        System.IO.FileInfo objFileInfo = new System.IO.FileInfo(exfile);
        System.IO.FileStream oStream = null;
        String strNewfilename = "Newname_ABC" + objFileInfo.Extension;
        string VirtualFilePath = "http://yoursite/yourfolder/";
        if (objFileInfo.Exists)
        {
            ltrPdfLink.Text = "<a href=\\" + VirtualFilePath + pdffile + ">Click here for PDF</a>";
        }
    }

You can place below line to open pdf in new window.

ltrPdfLink.Text = "<a target='_blank' href=\\" + VirtualFilePath + pdffile + ">Click here for PDF</a>";

Hope it helps.

Could you please post your detail code here ? like on click of button your are going to call the above code routine or any other method your are following. Details will be more helpful to resolve issue. If you are using any handler for pdf file then pl. post its routine as well.
