Is there any way to get a Google Docs document to include its comments in the PDF file that it creates when you click the "print" button?

It doesn't appear possible at the moment;
Unfortunately you cannot print or export comments to PDF at this time
What is suggested is exporting your comments as a .doc file (then converting to .pdf perhaps ?) which apparently retains the comments.
Hope this helps.

5Yes did a test. Downloaded the Gdoc as Word and the comments are all there. – user17578 Feb 23 '12 at 9:10

You can do this as follows, in the Google Document click File > Download As > Web page.
Then, open the downloaded file with any browser, print that. At the bottom of the document you will have all the comments.

Downloading as Word doc didn't work for me, but I was able to do it by downloading as a webpage and that worked perfectly.

I have tested this on linux machine. the work around is download it as an .odt document. Then open it in libreoffice and then export it as pdf. Since libreoffice is available for windows also so my guess is it will work for windows also.
After exporting it the comments is visible as an icon where you have commented. See screenshot below.

You can download the Google Doc as a .docx and, in Microsoft Office Word, save the .docx file as a PDF. You will have comments in the margin of the PDF file.

You could use this Chrome extension to take a multi-page screenshot of the document and print that capture:

You can use the Chrome extension Google document with comments printer by Deemwar to print a Google document with comments.
