You may be able to export the dxf to an eps file within your CAD software,
which can then be given to the print shop.

I hestitate to suggest this, because I've seen some ugly issues with
Autocad PS export. In one case it generated PS that caused the
interpreter to bail when an entity was rotated to certain angles.
Maybe they've fixed it in later versions.

Whenever I did this in the past, I would open the eps file in Adobe
Illustrator and never had a problem.
