Website with 2400 pages with unique content (Moving from Elementor to GP)

Hi,
I want to move a website that is currently on Elmentor to Generate Press but I'm not quite sure how to do it since all pages have unique content and an option form. When I remove Elementor it leaves the text on the page and that's it. How can I style that text back to how it was using GP? For example, each hero section has a unique copy and pertains to a specific geo-location.
Do I need to build these pages using PHP and custom CSS and HTML? I hope not!
The header and footer are not the problems as they are the same for all pages. I can create them and apply them throughout the website.
Will appreciate help on this.
Thanks

Hi there,
check out the Block Element - Page Hero to see if that fulfils your requirements:

Hi David,
Thank you for your reply. This was interesting but I'm not sure this solves my issue.
The content on each of those pages is custom written (manually). Right now Elementor has left everything as plain text.
Some of that content needs to go in the header, some on the forms and so on and so forth. Not sure how to pick it up dynamically and make it go into different places.
Let me know if I have made myself clear. Appreciate your help.
Thank you,
Zee
If you built the entire layout in the Elementor editor then unfortunately you're stuck with just a big block of content stored in the post content tables. Which means you would have to manually edit those post...
Ok no worries. Is there a fast way to create pages in bulk? Any plugin or if there's a functionality in GP>
Thanks

Can i see an example page that you need converting? - might be something i am missing.
