Have you heard of Gerber files? What format is your PCB design in?

Do you have a control system for the drilling machine? If so, what format does it expect the data to be in?

My feeling is that your best route will be from the DXF files, as these are vector (co-ordinate based) files. All the drilling information is in there, and just needs re-formatting for your drilling M/C.
