One small tweak to your XFMemberProperty syntax should be all that is required.

U3#|!SITA_GroupBU!|.Children:Name(XFMemberProperty(DimType=UD3, Member=|MFUD3|, Property=Text1))

I believe short description only applies to the time dimension & can be edited in Application > Time Profiles.

How do we do the dynamic short description then without BR.. Such long Description looks odd in PDF any way to make it presentable in PDF format?

For time, you would go to you can set the property in the cube view to use short description.  I suppose if you really wanted alternate descriptions for other dimensions you could use the English description as an option.  You could also set the width for the pdf to accommodate.  If it's a big issue maybe discuss with your teams to agree on what items can be abbreviated to fit better.
