Since a PDF can be opened in Illustrator, is it possible to protect vector graphics that are embedded in a PDF created with 9 Standard? or even 9 Pro?
protection of vector graphics in standard version?

You can set permissions security on the PDF to deny editing, which would prevent it opening in Illustrator without a password, but that's only a trivial solution as removing permissions passwords from PDFs is a 10-second job for anyone with Web access - so the general answer is "no".

Jep,
protection of the PDF content is only a joke...
there is no simple way to do it properly.
Everything you see on screen can be stolen.
