/**
 * Creates an AES-256-CBC cipher for PDF encryption.
 * The cipher prepends a random IV to encrypted data during encryption
 * and extracts the IV from the first 16 bytes during decryption.
 *
 * @param key - The 32-byte encryption key.
 * @returns A Cipher object with encrypt and decrypt methods.
 *
 * @example
 * ```typescript
 * const cipher = aes256(key)
 * const encrypted = await cipher.encrypt(plaintext)
 * const decrypted = await cipher.decrypt(encrypted)
 * ```
