in your app/code/local/mage/sales/model/order/pdf/invoice.php

and add the following code inside public function getPdf mostly after Add Total Code

Save it and download PDF invoice ....boom invoice comment will be there in your pdf..

/*************************** This Is The Invoice Comments ***********************************/

$this->_setFontRegular($page, 10);

// Begin table header
$page->setFillColor(new Zend_Pdf_Color_RGB(0.93, 0.92, 0.92));
$page->setLineColor(new Zend_Pdf_Color_GrayScale(0.5));
$page->setLineWidth(0.5);
$page->drawRectangle(25, $this->y, 570, $this->y -15);
$this->y -= 10;
$page->setFillColor(new Zend_Pdf_Color_RGB(0, 0, 0));
// end table header


$_tempY = $this->y;

$commentsCollection = $invoice->getCommentsCollection(true);

$internalcomments = "Internal Invoice Comments";
$page->drawText($internalcomments, 35, $this->y, 'UTF-8');

$this->y -= 15;

foreach($commentsCollection as $comm)
{
        $textChunk = wordwrap($comm->getData('comment'), 120, "\n");
        foreach(explode("\n", $textChunk) as $textLine){
                if ($textLine!=='') {
                        $page->drawText(strip_tags(ltrim($textLine)), 35, $this->y, 'UTF-8');
                        $this->y -= 15;
                }
        }

 }

/*************************** End Invoice Comments ***********************************/

You need to add {{var comment}} in the Invoice, Shipment or Credit Memo template. You can access default templates provided by Magento 1.5 by going to systems>Transactional Emails.

Once you create your own template based on default, go to Systems>Configuration>Sales Email. Select the template you have just created and save.

{{var comment}} gives you option to add comments. Whatever you type will apear on the new invoice.

Hope thats what you were asking for.

In Magento ver. 1.5.1.0.options already available.

Goto

admin->sales->orders

to view the orders.click the particular order.There should be "Comments History".Here you can add comments to the order

Once you create the Invoice go to particular invoice.There Should be a "Invoice History".Here you can add your comments to your invoice.

Then print invoice If you willing to add your comments in printout this article could help you

All the best
