In the PC world, Hijaak does this. I know of another program that does
this directly from DXF to bitmap but can't remember it right now.  A
rather longer way to do it is to get a conversion program that takes
DXF files and translates them into CADKEY CADL files which can then be
output in a variety of bitmap formats.
