The boxes are called "tofu" and are intended to show, that the character is undefined in the selected font. This may be caused by a damaged font or PDF. You may check the PDF for arrors before editing with the builtin Preflight tool. It may be able to fix it (or not).

In this case, the "tofu" represents characters (or glyphs) that are not available in the current font on your computer.
In order to edit any PDF, you must install the fonts used by the original author on your computer. Fonts are not free and you must have legal licenses to use them.
